[Verse 1]
As I look at the ruins of my so called life
In the dust of the killing ground it cuts me like a knife
Just like lambs to slaughter they were sure to die
We had our orders no remorse no matter how they cried
[Pre-Chorus]
And it went on and on and on
[Chorus]
So leave a light on for me
If I'll return in the middle of the night
I'm a wounded man but now I'm coming home
I may stumble and bleed
But I'll never ever lose this fight
This is a road from hell and I'll walk 'til my final breath
[Post-Chorus]
Aftermath, aftermath
Now nothing will be the same
[Verse 2]
Now in the wheel of confusion it is hard to tell
What is worth all this blood and pain? Imprisoned in my cell
I'm tired of being tied by my nightmares and fears
Now let it be like it was before this endless misery
[Pre-Chorus]
Now it rages on and on and on
[Chorus]
So leave a light on for me
If I'll return in the middle of the night
I'm a wounded man but now I'm coming home
I may stumble and bleed
But I'll never ever quit this fight
This is a road from hell and I'll walk 'til my final breath
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
And it went on and on and on
[Chorus]
So leave a light on for me
If I'll return in the middle of the night
Well, I'm a wounded man but now I'm coming home
Babe, leave a light on for me
If I'll return in the middle of the night
I'm a wounded man but now I'm coming home
I may stumble and bleed
But I'll never ever quit this fight
This is a road from hell and I'll walk 'til my final breath
[Outro]
If I were to be aftermath, now Aftermath
Woah, 'til my final breath
The world is what it is but now I'm home
