Interlude: | | verse 1: Into the land of the living black bleeds orange into blue I am coming to life; light is breaking through I can hear the bells in the city across the ancient shore I am ready to fight; let down the scarlet cord Pre-Chorus 1: It’s time to shed this masquerade You cannot love in moderation You’re dancing with a dead man’s bones Lay your soul on the threshing floor Interlude: | | verse 2: Between the wall of the river shoulders bare the sacred stones We made it alive; we are not alone Pre-Chorus 2: Kiss the ground and change your name You cannot love in moderation You’re dancing with a dead man’s bones Lay your soul on the threshing floor Interlude 2: | | Bridge: I heard the distant battle drum The mockingbird spoke in tongues Longing for the day to come I set my face, forsook my fears I saw the city through my tears The darkness soon will disappear And be swallowed by the sun Ending: I am coming home I am coming home I am coming home I am coming home
