We started in October Drowned our sins in cold November rain Fought on through December Prayed for snow to cover up the pain Been so long under winter's night Waiting for the sun Watching the horizon chorus: Everybody's coming home for summer Battlefields a thousand miles away What a feeling Taste the freedom They're with everyone Finally we're coming home We shadow boxed the enemy Swinging 'till we expedite our fears They're backed into a corner Ring the bell - we've shed our blood and tears Like hibernating stowaways Hoping for the shore Watching the horizon chorus We suffered in silence through storms and through violence we steered our way The waves have subsided The clouds have divided and cleared away Found a reason to survive Found the will to stay alive That will be the last thing that we do Heading for summer Back home for summer chorus
