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
