Album: TO THE DEATH | Song lyrics to: PRODIGAL
"PRODIGAL"
Intro
Forsook his birthright, took 2 bags of gold,
He headed for the town, he ran away from home.
Verse 1
Stepped on, run over, torn in two with a knife your back
Ripped off, forgotten, stripped naked with no clothes on your back
Regret, remorse, a pound of flesh they took by force
All spent, all done, no rest for a prodigal son
Chorus 1
Repent and go back to your home
You’ve been with dinning with swine too long
Go home and beg your father forgiveness
For the famine surely will kill you
Verse 2
So used, so broke, left out for the cutthroats
So guilty, so his fault, can’t blame anyone but himself
Repented, apologetic, ashamed he headed back home
All spent, all done, headed home the prodigal son
Chorus 2
Repent and go back to your home
You’ve been with dinning with swine too long
Go back and beg your father forgiveness
For the famine will surely kill you
Bridge
Oh God of mercy God of grace
I’ve been like the prodigal son
I’ll come back if you’ll have me
I beg forgiveness
His father killed the fatted calf
Declared his son alive again
Restored his position in his kingdom
Forgave him all his sins
Chorus 1
Repent and go back to your home
You’ve been with dinning with swine too long
Go back and beg your father forgiveness
For the famine will kill you
