Brother
I've missed you
Brother

I can see your face
In this desolate place
I know that it's not you
This is just my point of view
But being here today
Makes me question what is true

Brother
You've fallen away
Brother

I can hear your voice
And I can make this choice
To remember who you were
Back when things were pure
I wish we could stay
Your anger makes me unsure

Brother
Put down the blade
Brother

I know I must stand firm
I don't want to leave you on these terms
Even though you strike out
You were gone long before this bout
And after this foray
My heart is clear of doubt

Brother
I love you
Brother
