"My Brother, My Keeper" lyrics
"My Brother, My Keeper"
As I went out on a day
Roamed the hills and made my way
Good fortune failed and to my surprise
My brother left me here to die
Put away his blade and said, hmm that's tough
The elements should take you soon enough
So it goes I lie here still
If I could fight I'd probably kill him
My heart is broken and I'm filled with dread
Dizzied by the buzzards circling overhead
My brother, my keeper
My brother, my friend
What an end, what an end
As we wander in solitude
We can but ponder who's looking out for who
The future's tinted in steely greys
It bursts with color as we see it all play out
My brother, my keeper
My brother, my friend
My brother, my keeper
My brother, my friend
What an end, what an end
