lyrics

oh, brother of mine
I had to leave you behind
you dug some graves you
know they’ll never find
this was your heart, this swarm of flies
was once your mouth, this bowl of lies
but you served them well;
can’t say that I’m surprised

oh brother, when you came you were a stranger
oh brother, now you’re reaching for the sky to surrender
oh, brother of mine
I had a name but never mind
you were not caught but you know
you crossed the line

you walk the streets at night
you live among them, well disguised
longing to fill this emptiness inside

oh brother, when you came you were a stranger
oh brother, now you’re reaching for the sky to surrender
oh brother, when you came you were a stranger
oh brother, now you’re reaching for the sky to surrender
to surrender

soon the night will come to claim
any light that still remains
