Brother

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 grey
 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
 And I left you alone in a house, not a home
 And I watched the burning grow as my hair filled with grey
 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, 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
 And I left you alone in a house, not a home
 And I watched the burning grow as my hair filled with grey
 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
