Lyrics

They burned up their brotherhood To choose the fight or solitude The pleasure was their one and all They followed their lust, They followed the call The mistress promised " I'll praise the one When the fight is bloody done " Misled them to the will to kill Bargain is a bargain, and deal is a deal Find the way, keep the light Once they stood side by side Find the way to the cure - solitude The day broke in, the rage broke loose Finished with words and abuse Just raw power, but who's the blame? One of two brothers was doomed to fail Crashing devotion playing dice Leaving him to his own device The younger one is lying in the dust Dirt mixed with blood, Pain fusing with lust Swords hallowed by the mistress' hand A brave man killed - senseless command The triumph is unreal, he knows it too Scarlet nightmares are coming true No one dares to say a word The silence around must be unheard Worlds collapsing in man's mind Solitude is the only pride
