O’Brother
I Am (Become Death)
I will place a kingly crown on a breathless carcass
And I will seal the fate I found with an empty sigh
I will place a burial shroud to obscure our likeness
Lending all the blood I have to a worthless host

I won’t question why you try to push me off
I could be the one you trust to bring you home

I am the drug in your veins
I am death, I am song
And I’ll watch you sing along
I am the depth of your loss
I will show you the cost of what it means to know love

I won’t question why you try to push me off
I could be the one you trust to bring you home
I won’t question why you try to push me

Know you’re never alone
You see it all wrong
I’m gonna rise up and carry you home
See, the world is ours
When we know who we are
We’re gonna rise up and burst apart
