Lyrics

In selfishness I am the king of abandon
While your still standing on the horizon
Waiting with patience for my return
Tears soak your robe for the lessons I must learn
Take the money and run, take the money and run

Blindness from the warmth of the dawn
Brittle bone are crushed to dust
Suffocated and lulled to sleep
With loneliness I'm left to weep
They took it all as I gave it away
Living inside their mistakes
I'd rather be a slave in your house
No longer fit to be called your son

Bedridden with sickness
Confined in worlds of weakness
Immobilized by disease
Withered from starving with nothing to eat
Depression the rope I'm hanging
Torn out insides, wounds still bleeding
Tumors burst fourth from within
I'm the leper with burning skin

As the world tears my flesh away
Strength has failed me. (weak and dying)
False sense of security
They all turned against me. (cursed are these days)
Drank my fill of insurrection
Scour the land from my distractions. (debauchery)
Blindfolds and nothing more
Plagues and famines were my reward

Father how can you love the disobedient son who turned his face from you
All his possessions were squandered away, while I was here working like a slave
I never left your side, the warmth of your embrace
How can you forget my diligence? and your heart I will always chase

Son I'll never forget your loyalty, everything I have is yours
But your brother has returned from the dead
Say goodbye to jealousy's hatred. (x2)

Forgiven son rest here with me now and forever
