Monsters Calling Home Lyrics - Run River North - Run River North

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

They're walking to the 

Beat of a broken drum. 

Digging for worth in 

A land under a foreign sun. 

The children call bitter words 

Of a strange tongue. 

Hearts down, they're walking 

Heavy until the dying's down. 

Oh oh oh oh 

Oh oh oh oh 

Oh oh oh oh 

I see their hands. 

Some hold a bottle, 

Some hold back. 

And in their eyes, 

A wave of light 

In a sea of black. 

Their voices low, 

Trembling for blood to drink. 

And what they know 

Of a deep that cries to 

Deep in the night, 

The night oh they call, 

They call, 

In the night, the night 

Oh they call, 

They call now. 

Oh hear the monsters calling home, 

No they don't wanna be alone, but the 

Closet they keep closed. 

Swallow the key so that nobody, 

Nobody knows how they beat 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

They beat their chest to the sounds 

Of their broken hearts. 

Crying wolf under sheep's skins, 

Reaching out their claws. 

Stomping their feet, 

Never letting up the dust 

Choking up their lungs. 

Told to be a father, 

Growing up into a fatherless 

Son, oh my son, won't you come, won't you come. 

Son, oh my son, won't you come, won't you come. 

Son, oh my son, won't you come, won't you come. 

Son, oh my son, won't you come, won't you come. 

Oh hear the monsters calling home, 

No they don't wanna be alone, but the 

Closet they keep closed 

Swallow the key so 

Nobody knows how they beat. 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
