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 paid no heed How can I return your wasted breath? What I didn't 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, it was not 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 of blame Nothing can erase the things we did For the path we took was the same
How could I expect to call you wrong? How could you be blamed for what we've done? Both of us were fools in our desires As we flew too close to the sun
Beautiful mother, soft and sweet Once you were gone we were not complete Back through the years we reached for you Alas, it was not to be
My dreams made me blind and mute I longed 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...
