Brother, my brother Untimely ripped from this world Swallowed by earth, my soul left to bleed An act of conviction And as we stand two worlds apart My life force drained, my slowing heart Plagued with the thoughts of retribution Tears fall in the presence of rain Awake or dreaming, we can no longer tell Our world has flooded Solace only in a final farewell Longing for solace A prayer for reprieve Six feet never felt so deep I raise my hands to blackened skies But you hear not my tortured cries Your story forever left untold Tears fall in the presence of rain Awake or dreaming, we can no longer tell Our world has flooded Solace only in a final farewell Only reflections The mirror holds the portrait of a memory An altered image Now holds the remnants of what used to be To live in the hearts of those we leave behind Is not to die.
