A Heroine

[Verse 1]
Speak to me of dynasty
Who felled the trees and sailed the seas of industry
Who freed the slaves of sugar cane
A city born
A sweeter cage
A working wage
To carve the truth and show the blades
If I were you I'd tell the truth a different way
A golden ring
A heroine
The war is lost but history is just a song

[Chorus]
And all you've found what seems to drown us
Boats to move us and screams to soothe us
I've waited till my dying days were gone
And I'm coming home
I'm coming home

[Verse 2]
And so it spreads like river beds
And life will cling to any hopeless chance it gets
A hurricane
A thousand leaves
Will spread the rain and then of course it spreads the seeds

[Chorus]
And all you've found what seems to drown us
Boats to move us and screams to soothe us
I've waited till my dying days were gone
And I'm coming home
I'm coming home

[Bridge]
If you're gonna leave me there, if you're gonna leave me out
If you're gonna leave me there, if you're gonna leave me out
If you're gonna leave me there, if you're gonna leave me out
If you're gonna leave me there, if you're gonna leave me out

And all you've found what seems to drown us
Boats to move us and screams to soothe us
I've waited till my dying days were gone
I've waited till my dying days were gone
And I'm coming home
