The Prodigal Returns!

by D. McG

Return to your home now young Captain.
Gather round you the faithful and true.
Go back to your kin that expelled you.
For you know in your heart what to do.

Your King and your sister await you.
No more the Worm’s words keeps them blind.
They see you as clearly as I do.
Leave all of this wandering behind.

Come now to to the fortress of heroes.
Come now with the spirit of Eorl.
Come ride from the East with great virtue
Come follow the sunrise to home!
