Caedmons Call Coming Home Lyrics

Coming Home Lyrics

You say you want a living sacrifice 



Well I am a burnt offering 



Crawling off the alter and 



Back in to the fire 



And with my smoke-filled lungs 



I cry out for freedom




While locking and chaining myself 



To my rotting
desires 







AND I HATE THE STENCH, 



BUT I
SWALLOW THE KEY. 



AND WITH IT STUCK IN MY THROAT, CAN YOU HEAR ME?




CAN YOU HEAR ME 







I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M
COMIN' HOME 



I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME, BUT I'M STILL A
LONG WAY OFF 







I am shelled-shocked, and I have
walked 



Through the trenches full of tears 



With the
mortars of memory 



Exploding in my burning ears 







You stripped the trees of Lebanon 



And now you're
stripping me 



Of the bark of false morality 



And the
bite of selfish greed 



Can you hear me? 







I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME 



I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN'
HOME, BUT I'M STILL A LONG WAY OFF 







WILL YOU RUN TO
ME? WILL YOU COME TO ME? 



WILL YOU MEET ME, WILL YOU GREET ME, 



WILL YOU DRAG ME HOME 'CAUSE I'M STILL A LONG WAY OFF 







I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME 



I'M COMIN'
HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME
