(Verse 1)
Snow cuts through the wind my breath turns white and thin
Eyes half-closed I see the light—our old porch the welcome grin
War tore me from your side drones roar across the sky
This frozen ground’s my prison home’s a ghost that won’t draw nigh
I trace your face in snow fingers numb blood turning cold
Time’s running out the clock’s last tick my heart’s a heavy load
I tried to fight my way back through bullets mud and fear
But drones keep screaming overhead sealing all my hopes my dear
(Pre-Chorus)
I see the fire in the hearth your laugh echoes soft and clear
The kids are running through the yard the dog’s bark fills the air
But I taste iron on my tongue feel snow soak through my coat
This damn war these damn drones—they stole my way back home remote
(Chorus)
Home’s right there in my sight but I can’t cross the line
Drones hum like devils war’s a curse a endless cruel design
I’m fading fast snow covers me my pulse grows weak and slow
This damn war these damn drones—they won’t let me come home no
Won’t let me come home no…
(Verse 2)
I pull the crumpled photo out worn edges faded hue
Your smile’s the last thing I’ll hold close before the dark comes through
The drone’s shadow crosses mine a deathly cold embrace
I thought I’d make it back to you but war’s erased that trace
I whisper your name one last time snowflakes fall on my lips
This battle’s lost my journey ends where no warm light exists
I see Mom’s pie on the windowsill Dad’s chair by the fire glow
But drones keep tearing through the sky—home’s just a dream I’ll never know
(Pre-Chorus)
The door’s half-open like it’s waiting your voice calls out to me
I reach my hand but it goes through—this vision’s not reality
My body grows heavier snow clings to my freezing skin
This damn war these damn drones—they’ve locked me out I’m stuck in sin
(Chorus)
Home’s right there in my sight but I can’t cross the line
Drones hum like devils war’s a curse a endless cruel design
I’m fading fast snow covers me my pulse grows weak and slow
This damn war these damn drones—they won’t let me come home no
Won’t let me come home no…
(Bridge)
Why did the skies turn dark Why did the world turn cold
Drones don’t care about the love the lives they break the stories untold
I just wanted to be home to hold you one more night
But war’s a monster drones are fangs tearing hope from every fight
I see the light fade in your eyes in the vision of our home
But my breath is leaving snow’s my shroud I’m never coming home…alone
(Outro)
Snow falls thicker covering me drones fade into the gray
Home’s still there so clear so near but I’m slipping away
This damn war these damn drones—they took my life my right to roam
I’m fading now I see you cry but I can’t come home…
I can’t come home…
No I can’t come home…
