My favourite off the new record. So beautiful. A nice little love child of Omega from Bruce's solo record Accident of Birth and Out of the Shadows of AMOLAD. He sings with such conviction and a beautiful solo toward the end just makes the song that much better.
The theme of the record seems to be journeys in general, not Maiden's retirement (although WTWWB scared me as it sounded a tad like a swan song). Coming Home is just about flying home to Britain (Albion's land) and the feeling behind the wheel of a Boeing 757. I just love that lyric:
"Stretched the fingers of my hand, covered countries with my span
Just a lonely satellite, speck of dust and cosmic sand"
I believe (as it was stated above) that this song is about a journey. Analizing it deeper i think Bruce (assuming he wrote the lyrics by himself) is refering to returning to the UK after a tour (Somewhere Back In Time World Tour perhaps)and finally landing the plane.

The first verse i believe it refers to them leaving the country they last played in (it mentions the sound of the engines and the country being left behind),

The prechorus refering to the plane flying above different countries("over borders that divide the earthbound tribes") while the line "No creed and no religion just a hundred winged souls" might refer to the maiden crew (not sure though)
The chorus refering to the arrval in itself (Albion's land being the UK)and the second verse refering to Bruce flying the plane over the atlantic (which makes the possibility of the song being about the SBiTWT even more likely since it ended in the US)
