Coming Home Lyrics - Singles - Amebix

I just buried a friend 

He had come to the end 

But I can't help feeling that it needn't have been 

Caught in the flak 

There was no turning back 

So he laid down his life for some psychopath's dream 

So we're leaving the front 

Having taken the brunt 

Now we're tired of the slaughter in some foreign land 

So the leaders of the war 

They fight alone on the shore 

Our mutiny over they are left on the sand 

We stand as one 

We are an army now of many thousand strong 

They stand alone 

To fight for ravaged land to gain their worthless throne 

[Chorus:] 

The boys are coming home 

[Voiceover:] 

I see within my mind 

A vast and lonely plain 

Great armies meet in no man's land 

To clench their hands in friendship 

For the first time 

The dark tide is ebbing 

A mass of tired humanity drifting toward the dawn 

We are coming home
