Coming Home Lyrics - Caedmon's Call - Caedmons Call

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
