Barely Recognize You Elysian Fields

Feel like I waited forever for you to arrive
You look too long perhaps you lost your drive
You were touched by too many hands
Why'd you get soft, I don't understand

They made you apologize
I can barely recognize you
Let his love paralyze you
You know death should inspire you
You let his love paralyze you

You followed their flags
Now you're flapping in the rain
You took the main drag, denying the coarse terrain
You were once a firebrand
How'd you burn out
I can't understand

They made you apologize
I can barely recognize you
Let his love paralyze you
You know death should inspire you
You let his love paralyze you

You brought me liberation
Fought the contamination
You left a trail like Dillinger
Then you joined a congregation
