Coming Home Lyrics - The Final Frontier - Iron Maiden

When I stand before you shining 

In the early morning Sun 

When I feel the engines roar 

And I think of what we've done 

Oh the bittersweet reflection 

As we kiss the earth goodbye 

As the waves and echoes of the 

Towns become the ghosts of time 

Over borders that divide the 

Earthbound tribes 

No creed and no religion 

Just a hundred winged souls 

We will ride this thunderbird 

Silver shadows on the earth 

A thousand leagues away 

Our land of birth

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

To Albion's land 

Coming home when I see the 

Runway lights 

In the misty dawn 

The night is fading fast 

Coming home far away 

As the vapour trails alight 

Where I've been tonight 

You know I will not stay 

Curving on the edge of daylight 

'til it slips into the void 

Waited in the long night dreaming 

'til the Sun is born again 

Stretch the fingers of my hand 

Cover countries with my span 

Just a lonely satellite 

Speck of dust in cosmic sand 

Photos 

Over borders that divide the 

Earthbound tribes 

Flown the dark Atlantic 

Over mariners stormy graves 

We will ride this thunderbird 

Silver shadows on the earth 

A thousand leagues away 

Our land of birth 

To Albion's land 

Coming home when I see the 

Runway lights 

In the misty dawn 

The night is fading fast 

Coming home far away 

As the vapour trails alight 

Where I've been tonight 

You know I will not stay 

To Albion's land 

Coming home 

When I see the runway lights 

In the misty dawn the night 

Is fading fast 

Coming home far away 

As the vapour trails alight 

Where I've been tonight 

You know I will not stay 

Coming home far away 

When I see the runway lights 

In the misty dawn the night 

Is fading fast 

Coming home far away 

As the vapour trails alight 

Where I've been tonight 

You know I will not stay
