Home

We rode at night through the endless mist

In dark catacombs strangers kissed

We spoke of death and not of life

We spoke of war and eternal strife

We dared to dream what might be real

Dared to question, dared to feel

And there at last the oceans swell

Beyond the dead laying in their bones

Open wide the Gates of Hel

Hey Mother- I'm coming Home.

And back and forth our visions crossed

Into the air our lives were tossed

Red waves crashed on a deserted shore

Left us wanting more and more

What we need and what we crave

Joy to lead us from the grave

And there at last the oceans swell

Beyond the dead laying in their bones

Open wide the Gates of Hel

Hey Mother- I'm coming Home.

A thirst for life beyond compare

A candle burning with a falcon's stare

Wind swept southward through the mist

To lick our frozen fingertips

So at night we say good bye

There's a time to live and a time to die

And there at last the oceans swell

Beyond the dead laying in their bones

Open wide the Gates of Hel

Hey Mother- I'm coming Home.
