Run River North Monsters Calling Home song lyrics

They're walking heavy to the beat of a broken drum

Digging for worth in a land under a foreign sun

Their children call, bitter words of a strange tongue

Hearts down, they're walking heavy till the dying's done

I see their hands, some hold the bottle, some hold back

And in their eyes, a wave of light in a sea of black

Their voices low, trembling for blood to drink

Would they know, of a deep that cries to the deep

In the night, in the night, they call, yes they call

Oh! Hear! the monsters calling home now

No, they don't wanna be alone

But the closet they keep closed

Swallow the key so

That nobody, nobody knows how they beat

They beat their chests to the sounds of their broken hearts

Crying wolf under sheep skins reaching out their claws

Stomping their feet, never letting up the dust choking up their lungs

Told to be a father, growing up into a fatherless

Son oh my son, won't you come, won't you come
