Song Of My Returning
Pinhead Gunpowder Lyrics

The weary world is waiting
The world is tired and waiting for something to happen.

For ambition to be played
The world is waiting for someone to take action and follow their ambitions.

Now young and not afraid
The singer is young and not afraid to take on challenges.

I've got to challenge every challenge that I know
The singer knows that they must face and overcome every challenge they encounter.

For I am just a sailor
The singer sees themselves as a sailor on a journey.

On a ship across the land
The journey the singer is on is a metaphorical ship that is crossing the land.

Let me hold your hand
The singer is asking for someone to hold their hand and accompany them on their journey.

To bid farewell
The singer needs to say goodbye before they leave on their journey.

So I can knuckle to my knees
The singer knows that they will face difficult times on their journey and may need to kneel down and push through them.

But I'll be back again
The singer knows that they will return no matter where they go.

No matter where I go
The singer knows that they will travel to many places, but will always come back.

For it's only love
The singer believes that love is the only thing that can ignite a passion within someone.

That frees the fire for burning
Love is what gives people the courage to pursue their passions.

And I'll take you in my arms
The singer wants to be close to the person they love.

And tell you all I know
The singer wants to share their knowledge and experiences with the person they love.

As I sing the changing songs
The singer's journey will bring changes, and they will sing about them.

Of my returning
The songs the singer sings will be about their return home.

My drifting days prepare me
The experience of drifting through life has prepared the singer for challenges ahead.

To do battle with the night
The singer knows they will face dark times and must be brave.

Phantom of the fight
The singer will confront the fears that lurk within them.

I've got to conquer
The singer knows they must face their fears and overcome them.

All the courage of my fears
The singer knows that it will take a lot of courage to face and overcome their fears.

The answer lies in limbo
The solution to the singer's problems is uncertain.

And the harvest will be hard
The rewards of the singer's journey will not come easily.

But sacred are the stars
The stars are a symbol of hope and inspiration for the singer.

That leave their mark upon
The stars have an impact on the singer's journey and experiences.

The fast dissolving years
Time is passing quickly and the singer must make the most of it.

Time must have her victory
Time will always win and everything will eventually come to an end.

It's that I've always known
The singer has always been aware of the inevitability of time.

But I've won or lost alone
The successes and failures of the singer's journey will be their own.

And when a voice calls out,
The singer will hear someone call their name.

"There's someone you should meet"
Someone will suggest that the singer meet someone important.

With every strength remaining
The singer will use all their remaining strength to face the final challenge.

I will suffer one more scene
The singer will face one final difficult situation.

I'll gather all my dreams
The singer will remember all their hopes and dreams.

And with my final breath
The singer will use their last bit of energy to do something important.

I'll lay them at your feet
The singer will dedicate their final moments to the person they love.

As I sing the growing songs of my returning
The singer will sing songs about their journey and eventual return home.

As I sing the final song
The song the singer is singing will be their last.

Of my returning
The last song the singer sings will be about their return home.
