Hearken brother, though I might have failed you
An unvarnished truth is always a dreadful ordeal
Inconsequential we all are in the greater scheme of things
But sometimes the Devil has a cruel hand to deal
So do we soldier on or crumble under an emotional tide?
As we are often filled with self doubt and foolish pride
But odious as it is, that's just how it goes
Merciless, the wheel keeps grinding and everybody knows
Life will go out of its way just to rob you of all thе fun
So we might as well take a trip to thе moon or set sail for the sun
We stared into the abyss and walked away head high
We faced the Devil and looked him straight in the eye
Do you remember, brother, the time when magic felt all too real?
All but forgotten now as the Devil managed more of the soul to peel
Strange are the paths that are laid before us
And the shadows will often turn a hue deeper
But we did battle with dragons before, you and I
When all is said and done I'm still my brother's keeper
Week is the flesh and fragile is the mind
Our time on Earth is measured by the world we leave behind
An unvarnished truth is always a dreadful ordeal
Inconsequential we all are in the greater scheme of things
But sometimes the Devil has a cruel hand to deal
So do we soldier on or crumble under an emotional tide?
As we are often filled with self doubt and foolish pride
But odious as it is, that's just how it goes
Merciless, the wheel keeps grinding and everybody knows
Life will go out of its way just to rob you of all thе fun
So we might as well take a trip to thе moon or set sail for the sun
We stared into the abyss and walked away head high
We faced the Devil and looked him straight in the eye
Do you remember, brother, the time when magic felt all too real?
All but forgotten now as the Devil managed more of the soul to peel
Strange are the paths that are laid before us
And the shadows will often turn a hue deeper
But we did battle with dragons before, you and I
When all is said and done I'm still my brother's keeper
Week is the flesh and fragile is the mind
Our time on Earth is measured by the world we leave behind
