Ian Gillan
Pictures of Home (Live from Royal Albert Hall, 26th September 1999)
[Verse 1]
Somebody's shouting up at a mountain
Only my own words return
Nobody's up there, it's a deception
When will I ever learn?
[Chorus]
I'm alone here
With emptiness, eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And whispering pictures of home
[Verse 2]
Wondering, blindly, how can they find me?
Maybe they don't even know
My body is shaking, anticipating
The call of the black-hooded crow
[Chorus]
I'm alone here
With emptiness, eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And taunting with pictures of home
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Here in this prison of my own making
Year after day, I have grown
Into a hero but there's no worship
Where have they hidden my throne?
[Chorus]
I'm alone here
With emptiness, eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And screaming out pictures of home
