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
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
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
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
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
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
