How can I repay you, brother mine? |
|
How can I expect you to forgive? |
|
Clinging to the past, I shed our blood. |
|
And shattered your chance to live. |
|
Though I knew the laws, I payed no heed. |
|
How can I return your wasted breath? |
|
What I did not know has cost you dear, |
|
For there is no cure for death. |
|
Beautiful mother, soft and sweet, |
|
Once you were gone we were not complete. |
|
Back through the years we reached for you, |
|
Alas 'twas not meant to be. |
|
And how can I make amends? |
|
For all that I took from you? |
|
I led you with hopeless dreams, |
|
My brother, I was a fool. |
|
Don't cry for the past now, brother mine. |
|
Neither you nor I are free from blame. |
|
Nothing can erase the things we did, |
|
For the path we took was the same. |
|
Beautiful mother, soft and sweet, |
|
Once you were gone we were not complete. |
|
Back through the years we reached for you, |
|
Alas 'twas not meant to be. |
|
My dreams made me blind and mute. |
|
I long to return to that time. |
|
I followed without a word, |
|
My brother the fault is mine. |
|
So where do we go from here? |
|
And how to forget and forgive? |
|
What's gone is forever lost. |
|
Now all we can do is live. |
