There was a time When I called the night my friend And felt no pain Only a child And the light of innocence Burned bright as day Flesh and blood The ties of life we're one and same Pure freedom Born to share his brother's name Feeling the rain I've felt a thousand times before Yet it seems so cold Dove white as snow Trying to weather one more storm Lays on the ground Broken wings Helpless from the fate it's given Fragile thing I couldn't save it from it's cruel end Innocent one Comes upon a cold device And time stands still Sound of a shot And his heart turns cold as ice Life unfulfilled All my guilt I wished I was the one to die Brother killed Now I live to question why Search my soul to try and find a reason Losing faith in all that I believe in Shade my eyes From the windows of the past Too late to save Promise has died With a vision that can't last To fate a slave Piece by piece I've tried to mend my heart forsaken No release A nightmare and I can't awaken Search my soul to try and find a reason Losing faith in all that I believe in Now I know that the bird was a sign The blame for this forever will be mine
