about

You are one of us again. Alone you were weak, you had no purpose. Now do what we tell you to do.

lyrics

THE IMPORTANT ONE

We've watched you from afar
Squandering your father's wealth
Proud of your nakedness
So pure and poor.

And all the while we were
Secretly helping you
And though you spat on us
We smiled and knew.

So you've come back to our land
This kingdom built on blood
We saw you in the woods
Deep in the mud

Bring out the fatted calf
Get the fires roaring
Blazing as the sun
This house wants to feed you
This house wants to clothe you
You're the important one

We're so glad to have you back
Our joy spilled out all over you
Don't worry about the stain
We'll wipe you clean

After the feast you'll have
Your share of work to do
Now you belong to us
And you always will

Bring out the fatted calf
Get the fires roaring
Blazing as the sun
This house wants to feed you
This house wants to clothe you
You're the important one
