Verse 1:
E
Into the land of the living black bleeds orange into blue
E                                          E     G#m    B
I am coming to life; light is breaking through
      E                            G#m
I can hear the bells in the city across the ancient shore
B     E                  G#m                E    G#m    B
I am ready to fight; let down the scarlet cord

You cannot love in moderation
        B

Lay your soul on the threshing floor

Between the wall of the river shoulders bare the sacred stones

We made it alive; we are not alone

Kiss the ground and change your name

Bridge:
  E
I heard the distant battle drum
     C#m
The mockingbird spoke in tongues
B/D#
Longing for the day to come
   C#m
I set my face, forsook my fears
  F#m
I saw the city through my tears
    A2
The darkness soon will disappear
        G#m7              B    E
And be swallowed by the sun

               B
I am coming home

I am coming home

I am coming home
               E  E6  B/E  E
I am coming home
