Brother

[Verse 1]
Oh, brother of mine
It’s been a long long time
Since I’ve seen my face in your eyes

Oh, Brother, I’ve returned
To my burn scars of birth
Charcoal and iron brought me back

[Chorus]
And I left you alone
In a house, not a home
And I watched the burning grow
As my hair filled with gray

From the ashes that fell
The mountains I knew so well
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of midnight

Brother, I watched the sky burn
And all I learned was
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease

[Verse 2]
Oh, Brother, I see
You burn like me
The singes on our skin like a brand
Oh, Brother, I confess
There is little of me left
That could care about dousing the wildfire

[Chorus]
And I left you alone
In a house, not a home
And I watched the burning grow
As my hair filled with gray

From the ashes that fell
The mountains I knew so well
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of midnight

Brother, I watched the sky burn
And all I learned was
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Oh, Brother, did you know
You could just strike a match
Hear him scream my name one last time

Oh, Brother, I am home
In the fires of our youth
I could care less if it hurts you anymore
[Chorus]
And I left you alone
In a house, not a home
And I watched the burning grow
As my hair filled with gray

From the ashes that fall
The mountains I knew so well
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of midnight

Brother, I watched the sky burn
And all I learned was
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease
