Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Into the land of the living
Black bleeds orange into blue
I am coming to life
Light is breaking through
[Verse 2]
I can hear the bells in the city
Across the ancient shore
I am ready to fight
Let down the scarlet cord
[Verse 3]
It's time to shed this masquerade
[Verse 4]
You cannot love in moderation
You're dancing with a dead man's bones
Lay your soul
On the threshing floor
[Verse 5]
Between the walls of the river
Shoulders bare the sacred stones
We made it alive
We are not alone
[Verse 6]
Kiss the ground
And change your name
[Verse 7]
No you cannot love in moderation
You're dancing with a dead man's bones
Lay your soul
On the threshing floor
[Verse 8]
I heard the distant battle drum
The mockingbird spoke in tongues
Longing for the day to come
I set my face, forsook my fears
I saw the city through my tears
The darkness soon will disappear
And be swallowed by the sun
[Verse 9]
I am coming home
I am coming home
I am coming home
I am coming home...
