Analysis of Memory of Home
Voice
Potion or poison
Convince your innocence
Your heart's desire
the Voice you hear
And this call cannot be denied.
The Holy Child remains in you.
You are his home.
Today he is defenseless
And you accept it in
Exchange for all the Toys of battle
You have made
And now the way is open,
And journey has an end in sight at last
This world is not your home
You know this is true.
A memory of home keeps haunting you,
A place that called you to return
You wish to deny the voice
And do not want to remember
That what this voice reminds you
But you feel an alien here !!!!!!!!!
