Crosses (Come Back)

Duke:

"Come back
Come back to me
This turning back the years
Is like swallowing the sea"

"Who will hear me
As I sing?
Who holds my heart
On this frayed string?"

"Sit down, friend
I'll tell you what I've heard:
Laughing is a habit
We've unlearned."

"For power, place and destiny
Now lost and broken free from me
And what is ghosted and washed clean
Now seems like warm reality."

"Men of honor, men of faith
Lay broken like communion plates
The battle done, the song is over
And in the sky a vision hovers"

Rider:

"Listen
Listen to me
You shall not die today
Take your shield and follow me."
