Fire in the Homeland

There's a light
shining in my eyes
And I stumble down the hall
And there's trouble in my mind tonight
I see me lose it all

Tell me brother
why do you sing the blues
Are you caught up in the game
Tell me sister
what is there to lose
A broken heart and the blindness of a fool

There's a fire in the homeland tonight
Shaking my foundation, bliding me with light
There's a fire searing through my soul tonight
And it strips away the old man
Leaves behind the child

There's a light
shining in my eyes
And I stumble down the hall
And there's trouble in my mind tonight
Silent dawn answering the call

There's a fire in the homeland tonight
Shaking my foundation, blinding me with might
There's a fire searing through my soul tonight
And it strips away the old man
Leaves behind the child
