Prodigal Son - Benedictum

Caught up in the violence

Cloaked in silent secrecy

You are a taker

But life is not your own you see

In anger you’ve blundered

Torn your soul asunder

Burning the bridge as you run

You’re the prodigal son

You are a cyclone blowing

But it’s you that you’re destroying

Dreams and wishes fade away

You’ve sold your soul for one more day

Acting without reason

but all things have their season

You are headed for disaster

Now decide who’ll be your master

Tumbling down, blind is your fight

Your mind like your heart and your fists are clenched tight

Weaving a web of such extremes

As you shout in the dark

There’s no one to hear as you scream

Prodigal son

What have you done?

Prodigal son

Prodigal run

Acting without conscience

This could be your last chance

Break the shackles turn it over

Soon your life is over

It’s over, it’s over, over

Tumbling down, blind is your flight

Your mind like your heart and your fists are clenched tight

Weaving a web of such extremes

As you shout in the dark

There’s no one to hear as you scream

Prodigal son

What have you done?

Prodigal son

Prodigal run

Your time is running out

You cannot deny, your truth is a lie

But remember this, descend the abyss

Will you come back to me?

Will you come back to me my son?

From yourself you can’t run

You cry in the dark and I hear you scream.

Prodigal son

What have you done?

Come back to me!

Prodigal son, what have you done?

Can’t hide from destiny

Prodigal son

Your time is running out

Prodigal son, what have you done?
