Definitely recommend playing with the instrumentals, though I for one will never come close to Synister Gates! [Verse 1]
F#m       D
I've been away,

Dmaj9           F#m
Searching for a reason,

D       Dmaj9      D E
Another purpose to find.

F#maj           D
I've sailed the seas,

Dmaj9          F#m
Fought my many demons,

D              Dmaj9       D E
I've looked to gods in the skies.
[Verse 2]
F#m           D
I've stood in hell,

Dmaj9             F#
Where many had to suffer,

D            Dmaj9        D E
I stared the devil in the eyes.

F#m         D
Walked many roads,

Dmaj9              F#m
To witness ancient idols,

D             Dmaj9          F#m E
And found the great gates of fire.
[Instrumental 1] F#m D Dmaj9 F#m D Dmaj9 D E [Verse 3]
F#m      D
Had many storms

Dmaj9          F#m
Question my conviction,

D           Dmaj9     D E
Gave armies reason to rise.

F#m         D
The hangman searching

Dmaj9            F#m
For bones he can borrow,

D       Dmaj9          F#m E
While I escaped in the night,

Dmaj9 F#m  D
Fight or flight.
[Chorus]
Dmaj9 F#m D
Live again,

D   F#m   D
All roads end,

D    F#m D Dmaj9 D E
I'll be  coming  home.

Dmaj9 F#m  D
Tend  your light,

 D     F#m     D
'Cause on this night,

D    F#m D Dmaj9 D E
I'll be  coming  home.
[Verse 4]
F#m      D
Escaped the hell

Dmaj9          F#m
Of capitulated martyrs,

D              Dmaj9      D E
Then drank the blood of a king.

F#m        D
The desert rain

Dmaj9           F#m
Has washed away direction,

D          Dmaj9         F#m E
Had angels looking after me,

Dmaj9 F#m  D
So it seems.
[Chorus]
Dmaj9 F#m D
Live again,

D   F#m   D
All roads end,

D    F#m D Dmaj9 D E
I'll be  coming  home.

Dmaj9 F#m  D
Tend  your light,

 D     F#m     D
'Cause on this night,

D    F#m D Dmaj9 D E
I'll be  coming  home.
[Instrumental] F#m D Dmaj9 F#m D Dmaj9 D E Dmaj9 F#m D F#m D F#m D Dmaj9 D E [Verse 5]
F#m      D
My story ends

Dmaj9                 F#m
Not far from where it started,

D        Dmaj9            D E
My weary limbs have grown old.

F#m           D
I've seen the world

Dmaj9                 F#m
Through the eyes of a nomad,

D                 Dmaj9              F#m E
Home is where the heart is I've been told,

Dmaj9 F#m  D
So I go.
[Chorus]
Dmaj9 F#m D
Live again,

D   F#m   D
All roads end,

D    F#m D Dmaj9 D E
I'll be  coming  home.

Dmaj9 F#m  D
Tend  your light,

 D        F#m  D
'Cause on this night,

D    F#m D Dmaj9 D E
I'll be  coming  home.
[Outro]
D          Dmaj9
I'm coming home
F#m E
D          Dmaj9
I'm coming home
F#m E D Dmaj9 F#m E
