“Long Way Home” was manifested from hours banging away at a piano in the practice rooms. This composition includes tempo changes, tight harmonies, and a very hard-hitting melody.
lyrics
Verse 1:
On the long road home
Cold skys, once had glistened
Fortune favors the ignorant
On the night we knew we would die
Verse 2:
The clock struck four
Bodies frozen
Green, blue, and brown gazes
These men were born to drill and die
In a field where a thousand corpses lie
Verse 3:
Paralyzed with fear
Death ever watching
As Time grew near
Pre Chorus:
And It happened
It cant happened
Verse 4:
My breastplate grew cold
The darkness surrounds me
A tunnel with no light
Pre Chorus 2:
It can’t happen
But it happened
Oh noo
New Chorus:
And I
Lost it all
Not coming back
From what had been before
Through granites where
titanic wars had groined
men’s forheads bleed
where there are no wounds
Birds of iron and
Birds of Prey
Skimmy the sky
Watching us die
New Chorus 2:
Shelled Fork In the road (And Die)
Uncertain hearts made of gold (And Die)
Where we go (And Die)
Truth untold (And Die)
