  • I've been away
    Searching for a reason
    Another purpose to find
    I've sailed the seas
    Fought my many demons
    I've looked to gods in the skies

    I've stood in hell
    Where many had to suffer
    I stared the devil in the eyes

    Walked many roads
    To witness ancient idols
    And found the great gates of fire

    Had many storms
    Questioned my conviction
    Gave armies reason to rise

    The hangman searching
    For bones he can borrow
    While I escaped in the night
    Final plight

    Live again
    All roads end
    I'll be coming home
    Tend your light
    'Cause on this night
    I'll be coming home

    Escape the hell
    Of capitulated mortals
    And drink the blood of a king
    A desert rain
    Has washed away direction
    Had angels looking after me
    So it seems

    Live again
    all roads end
    I'll be coming home
    Tend your light
    'Cause on this night
    I'll be coming home

    My story ends
    Not far from where it started
    My weary limbs have grown old
    I've seen the world
    Through the eyes of a nomad
    Home is where the heart is
    I've been told
    So I go

    Live again
    All roads end
    I'll be coming home
    Tend your light
    'Cause on this night
    I'll be coming home

    I'm coming home
    I'm coming home
    I'm coming home
    I'm coming home Writer/s: Brian Haner, Jonathan Seward, Matthew Sanders, Zachary Baker

  • Hans I Love Rock Larsen from Denmark Just heard a number cant stop to check the band out . F--king good lyrics . Welcome on my top 10 rock you make my blood run as fast fast as the guitar . Keep writing songs yeaaaahh
  • Brad KuzI think it a song about salvation. I know what Shadows said, but the Lord is using these boys. I think they know it.
  • Josh from FlI also believe that Avenged was attempting to finish Metallica's Unforgiven songs due to the fact the album sounded like a tribute to a lot bands and the very first lyrics sound like they are referring to the 3 unforgiven songs.
