A hero comes home Though wide he may roam He goes where no one has gone He will return Out of the mist of history He'll come again

When the smoke is going down I climb the stage again this night 'Cause the place seems still alive Just when you make your way back home I find some time to be alone I go to see the place once more Just like a thousand nights before This is the place
