1
Fog lifts from the harbor, dawn goes down today
2
An agent crests the shadows of the nearby alleyway
3
Piles of broken bricks, sign posts on the path
4
Every moment points towards the aftermath
5
Yeah ah ah

Every battle heads toward surrender on both sides
10
And I am coming home to you
11
With my own blood in my mouth
12
And I am coming home to you
13

14
Bells ring in the tower, wolves howl in the hills
15
Chalk marks show up on a few high windowsills
16
And a rabbit gives up somewhere, and a dozen hawks descend

I am coming home to you
24
With my own blood in my mouth
25
And I am coming home to you
26
If it's the last thing that I do
