lyrics

Prodigal Sun
----------------

Called away
Into the empty winds
Just as the dawn
Shined on the open roads.
Tears and prayers
Are falling
Cries to the Gods we’ve praised
Fall as silent as the winter snow.

Though father forsakes me
By finding my own way
I found his blessing.

From empty shrines
The departed are returning
The dawn is calling

Swing low
My sweet chariot
Come, carry me back home

Upon this pyre
I sail the rivers
Behold my light
Returning to the giver

Cast outside the walls
The keys hang alone
A father’s precious jewel
Held in a heart of stone

Conform and hold to the line
Conform or live with the consequence
Forgive, keep bending the line
Forgive or live with the consequences

Letting go
I see.
My spirit’s free to find the way
back home.

Beyond the fire
Beyond the rivers
I am the light
A wayward sun, delivered

Heartfelt words and understanding
Will break the walls that hold our sorrows
Pardons the potion for all souls
Who’ve lost the way and parted

When time’s calling comes
Come join your son
Let’s forgive all wrongs
I’ve prepared a feast of welcome

Swing low
My sweet chariot
Come carry me back home.

Beyond the fires
Beyond the rivers
Behold my light
Burning on forever

When your pyre sails away
Untethered may you find your way and burn with me.
