Gideon - Prodigal Son Lyrics






Restoration

This is the last time
I will choose to run from the ones that I love
A young man that was full of pride
That was full of self regard
Forgiveness you still show
A prideful youth that I'll never get back
You carried my weight
Forgiveness you still show

This is the last time that I'll run from the ones that I love
I am the Prodigal Son
I will no longer run
I am the Prodigal Son

Now I'm older and I can see the truth
The sacrifices you made for the life that you would struggle through
A prideful youth that I'll never get back
You carried my weight
Forgiveness you still show

I never knew how much you meant to me
And now I'm taking it back
I used to count down the days that I'd leave with my selfish ways
I'm taking it back
With the love that you have shown me
And the man that you have molded me to be
I'm taking it back

You were my Restoration
Restoration

    Christian Hardcore and MetalCore have THE BEST bands. Hands down.

  19. t.... ....

    you have to get used to it. If by "type" of music you mean metal. Try softer bands like Killswitch or Emery first.

  61. L.... ....

    Flanggg flangggg flanggggggg

  62. -.... F....

    Saw them at Murray theater 6/24

  63. A.... S....

    Still good, but I really hate that they went to a metalcore sound and left the more raw, grittier, more hardcore sound in their previous album.

  64. A.... H....

    Hardcore needs to die. Odin is disappointed.

  65. A.... J....

    Seeing them June, 30th. I can't wait. It's going to be a sick show!

  66. z.... m....

    good god!!!!! this song is sooooooooo sooooo heavy!!!!!! I LOVE GIDEON!

  67. K.... K....

    Just Learned Of This Band Today. I Got My Pre-Order For Whitechapel's New Record And There Was A Sticker For This Record In My Package.

  68. t.... ....

    I think this is the best hardcore record since a long time ago. I started to lose hope on facedown lol

  69. E.... ....

    I am the prodigal, SON!

  70. z.... m....

    no one cares what you call it? This is Heavy! and its meaningful.Go away if your gonna argue about genres

  71. b.... ....

    Good song but I fucking hate the phaser

  72. M.... D....

    This is the last time , That I'll run from the ones i love I am the Prodigal Son!
    Gideons the best at what they do enough said.

  73. C.... ....

    hahaha thank you!

  74. J.... M....

    This guy knows his shizz!

  75. J.... M....

    This guy knows his shizz!

  76. C.... ....

    Nice! Northlane are so good! I not sure what genre I'd class them. Listen to Demoraliser, Napoleon and Heart Of A Coward (they're more metlacore with a unique style)! Worth listening :) Really good UK bands!

  77. S.... ....

    This is mother fucking ALABAMA HARDCORE!!! Representing from Birmingham!!!

  78. j.... a....

    I'm pretty all over the place when it comes to music. Hardcore however, has always had a place really close to my heart though. Gideon , The Ghost Inside, Counterparts, Hundredth, arguably Northlane. (Considering some people wouldn't name them hardcore).

  79. C.... ....

    Melodic Hardcore is a beast genre! Who are your favourite bands?

  80. R.... ....

    hardcore music witha djenty breakdown? i love:)

  81. a.... t....

    OH LOOK, another video about genre nazis or the people who bitch and complain about them

  82. O.... ....

    OMG that last breakdown. I knew to expect breakdowns from this band but the kinda two-step thing was a surprise and then I just DIED at the end haha. Stoked! Like a Christian Stick To Your Guns/The Ghost Inside!

  83. x.... ....

    /watch?v=3KeZvvVQdno

  84. j.... a....

    Agreed man. This is Melodic Hardcore. Definitely my favorite type if you ask me.

  85. C.... ....

    Even though I don't give a fuck what genre it is, but to shut you all up it's melodic hardcore. Now shut up and enjoy this!

  86. M.... W....

    Metalcore is the halfway point between Hardcore and Metal, It draws influences from both sides, so.... It doesn't really matter. Although, this leans more on the hardcore side than the metal side. Reminds me a bit of Terror, who is undisputedly hardcore. Actually Vocally its almost identical to Terror. So Everyone needs to pull their britches out of their bum.

  87. b.... w....

    gideon :)

  88. p.... ....

    Additionally, I enjoy this song.

  89. p.... ....

    This is metalcore. This is not hardcore.

  90. E.... D....

    AND NOW I'M TAkunn ut BAAAAAACK!!!

  91. E.... B....

    actually classical artists argued about different music forms and even notation aspects all the time lol

  92. K.... L....

    well i mean, beethoven was deaf, so the chances of them arguing are slim to none, probably none.

  93. v.... r....

    I dig what you're saying. But hardcore is punk, and punk is all about being much, much different than EVERYTHING the world is about. As the world changes, punk changes and thus hardcore. The sound of hardcore has evolved, or developed & broadened if you will. From BAD BRAINS, D.O.A., BLACK FLAG & MINOR THREAT, to this metallic rock n roll sounding hardcore. Surely much less rebellious & counter cultural. Music is music, but hardcore punk is & always shall be outside the "world" of music.

  94. H.... ....

    Bach was a composer during the Baroque Period and was born 21 of March 1685 and Died 28th of July 1750. Beethoven was a Composer that was greatly influencing the transition between Classical and Romantic and was born 17th of December 1770 and died 26th of March 1827. So incorrect, they never knew each other....that is all (Trollface.jpg)

  95. L.... ....

    umm racist bigotry is everywhere not just alabama. and theres not even much of it left here anyways.

  96. A.... |....

    Beginning is too hard.

  97. J.... T....

    See? Alabama can contribute some things to the world besides racist bigotry...
