Brother

My brow is quivering, filled with light of angels But sometimes in the night, I feel a sense of danger The past comes in haunted dreams A figure from my childhood The menace of a thousand nights Spent in shivering silence You were meant to be my light Brother you weren't meant to fight You were supposed to protect me then Brother, karma's got its revenge As I slept, you kicked my bones I shivered there, a little child You were meant to be my friend Oh brother, you were meant to defend The soul it prays to be made whole But life it cuts just like a knife
