Come Back, Come Back Home
A DISTANT LAND YOU SEEK
AWAY FROM YOUR MOTHERS ARMS
NOW SEE WHAT PRIZE YOUR PRIDE
HAS GIVEN YOU
A BITTER PAIN OF WORTHLESS GAIN
NOW YOU STAND AWRY WITH SHAME
AND MAIMED
LOST IN AN ISLAND OF AN ANCIENT TALE
YOUR FRIGHT SEEMS LIKE AFLIGHT OF
ENDLESS WOES
BOUND TO DIE A DAY BEFORE
BLOOD OF AGES STAY ALIVE
YOUR LAND AWAITS YOUR HUMBLE STEPS
THE ROOTS OF YOUR JOURNEY STILL LIES
AWAKE
A MAMA’S ARMS FAR OUTSTRETCHED
TO RECEIVE YOU BACK HOME ONCE AGAIN
SEE THE FACES AWAITING YOUR COME
NOT TO SHARE YOUR WEALTH BUT THE
WORSE
OF YOUR ERRAND OF A THOUSAND MILES
