Idina Menzel Lyrics

"A Hero Comes Home"
(from "Beowulf" soundtrack)

Out of the mist of history 
He'll come again 
Sailing on ships across the sea 
To a wounded Nation 

Signs of a saviour 
Like fire on the water 
It's what we prayed for 
One of our own 

Just wait 
Though wide he may roam 
Always 
A hero comes home 
He goes where no one has gone 
But always 
A hero comes home 

Deep in the heart of darkness sparks 
A dream of light
Surrounded by hopelessness 
He finds the will to fight 

There's no surrender 
Always remember 
It doesn't end here 
We're not alone 

Just wait 
Though wide he may roam 
Always 
A hero comes home 
He goes where no one has gone 
But always 
A hero comes home 

And he will come back on the crimson tide 
Dead or alive 
And even though we know the bridge has burned 
He will return 
He will return 

Just wait 
Though wide he may roam 
Always 
A hero comes home 
He knows of places unknown 
Always 
A hero comes home 

Someday they'll carve in stone 
"The hero comes home" 

He goes and comes back alone 
But always 
A hero comes home 

Just wait 
Though wide he may roam 
Always 
A hero comes home





Since this song is newer than the ones than Doug has heard on his journey,   It's pretty obvious what this one will do.

[Proginoskes]

Well, the obvious (though possibly lazy) effect is a gate song, but I don't see how its age is relevant beyond preventing it from being the gate out of Valdemar. Doug could've picked it up in Mega-Tokyo, or on an undepicted step.

[Bob Schroeck]

Actually, I have a verse of this cued up as one of the last pullquotes in DW13.
