Monsters Calling Home Songtext
von Run River North

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

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

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

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

And would they know
Of a deep that cries to the deep in the night


In the night, oh they call
They call in the night
The night oh they call
They call now

Oh! Hear! The monsters calling home
No, they don't wanna be alone
But the closet they keep closed
Swallow the key so
That nobody
Nobody knows how they beat

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

They beat their chests to the sounds of their broken hearts
Crying wolf under sheeps' 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
Son, oh my son, won't you come, won′t you come
Son, oh my son, won't you come, won′t you come
Son, oh my son, won't you come, won′t you come

Oh! Hear! The monsters calling home
No, they don't wanna be alone
But the closet they keep closed
Swallow the key so
Nobody, nobody knows how they beat!

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
