Coming Home Lyrics

Welcome to the trenches
It's worse than it appears
Whoever said that all was quiet
Didn't get that from here

So much has been lost
It astounds the mind
But we are holding fast
Welcome to the front lines

And I wait . . . And I wait . . . And I wait . . .

When are you coming home?
When are you coming home?

Oh you look so surprised
To find me in here
The question written in your eyes
Why for this would I volunteer

I understand your dismay
Perhaps you feel betrayed
But I've only gone to where I was called
The reason we were made

And I wait . . . And I wait . . . And I wait . . .

When are you coming home?
My how we have grown
Don' you ever tire of being alone
When are you coming home?

I've seen the reaper in the killing fields
I see through the masks and all the hatred concealed
I've seen the pain that would not yield
I've grown so numb, I cannot feel

My dearest brother
The battle is raging
And the warriors are few
I ask for no other
This war is still waging
And I need you
When are you coming home?
