I'm not really sure what this song is about. It seems mystical/religious in nature, and the title would appear to refer to the parable of the Prodigal Son. I looked that over, and there's not a ton of apparent connection, although the father does slaughter a calf, leading to second guessing. And there is a general theme of seperation and reuniting (..It'll be with you...)

Here's what I have:

{00:40} Ooh - na - na - na - na - na - na - na - na Ooh - n-no - no Ooh - no - no - no - hey You scare us yeah You welcome us And you motion us to move our mouths And we are Yes we are

And you know I thought you put them there You free us, tell us we're deformed So we are Yes we are Oh no no no no

When I breathe again I swear It’ll be with you Heya!

Ooh - na - na - na - na - na - na - na - na Ooh - n-na - no Ooh - no - no - no-hey And you make us yell You cure us yes You kill the calf as we second guess The first draft The sun's too old (?) The darkness falls as nothing moves Your heartbeat slows it gets too cold So you sleep As we all sleep, alone

And when I rise again I swear It’ll be with you Heya!
