A song featured in the second part of Iron Maiden's The Final Frontier World Tour during 2011 all around Europe must be at least great, right? Absofuckinlutely! Coming Home is on the top list of the tracks featured in The Final Frontier album, a mature song about the trip and the destination, it's all about England, the band's home. Coming Home was released as a radio single on 27 October 2010, featuring an alternative radio edit version. Nothing more from me, enjoy a brilliant song!

Lyrics:
When I stand before you shining
In the early morning sun
When I feel the engines roar
And I think of what we've done
Oh the bittersweet reflection
As we kiss the earth goodbye
As the waves and echoes of the towns
Become the ghosts of time
Over borders that divide the
Earthbound tribes
No creed and no religion
Just a hundred winged souls
We will ride this thunderbird
Silver shadows on the earth
A thousand leagues away
Our land of birth
To Albion's land
Coming home when I see the runway lights
In the misty dawn the night is fading fast
Coming home far away
As the vapour trails alight
Where I've been tonight
You know I will not stay
Curving on the edge of daylight
Till it slips into the void
Waited in the long night dreaming
Till the sun is born again
Stretch the fingers of my hand
Cover countries with my span
Just a lonely satellite
Speck of dust in cosmic sand
Over borders that divide the
Earthbound tribes
Flown the dark Atlantic
Over mariners stormy graves
We will ride this thunderbird
Silver shadows on the earth
A thousand leagues away
Our land of birth
To Albion's land
Coming home when I see the runway lights
In the misty dawn the night is fading fast
Coming home far away
As the vapour trails alight
Where I've been tonight
You know I will not stay
Coming home far away
When I see the runway lights
In the misty dawn the night is fading fast
Coming home far away
As the vapour trails alight
Where I've been tonight
You know I will not stay
