Amebix - Coming Home lyrics

I just buried a friend He had come to the end But I can't help feeling that it needn't have been Caught in the flak There was no turning back So he gave up his life for some psychopath's dream So we're leaving the front Having taken the brunt Now we're tired of the slaughter in some foreign land So the leaders of the war They fight alone on the shore Our mutiny over they are left on the sand We stand as one We are an army now of many thousand strong They stand alone To fight for ravaged land to gain their worthless throne The boys are coming home I see within my mind A vast and lonely plain Great armies meet in no man's land To clench their hands in friendship For the first time The dark tide is ebbing A ma** of tired humanity drifting toward the dawn We are coming home
