Come up screaming
Come up screaming
I've never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you
I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor
Come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might've wanted
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

The Crossing (1983)

Power: Returns one person of choice to life, Said person "wakes" screaming. Song has to played fully for target person to remain alive.
"Powerword: Defillibrate" any one?

Twist of Fate does ressurrection already... but.
My suggestion would be that, where ToF invokes deity, this one works entirely out of Doug's own resources - ie, it only works if he's at close to full power, and in the process it depletes his mana and health almost completely. Not neccessarily to death's doorstep or a coma, but weak enough to knock over with a feather. The target of the song won't be much better off, if any.

The song doesn't necessarily have to deplete his mana. Trust me, if you had ever been hit by a defilibrator, you would understand. The Medic yells "Clear!" before aplying the paddles for a reason.
ToF invocation can lead up to a full restore.
The Crossing is just your basic bring him back to life and stabilize for transport.
As the powere is channeled directly through him it knocks Doug on his ass do to power feed back.
Basicly it kicks like a mule when applied.

I like this. I could work with it. I particularly like the "defibrillator" analogy -- that works for me.
