Brother
In the cold of the night
as the cold wind does blow
under the far away stars
I walk in the dark
my footsteps empty sound
breathe clouds in the air
the night cuts to the bone
as I cry out the words
I have a brother
we're of the same flesh
our blood is the same
I have a brother
my heart does ache
my tears to flow
I know it is true
he is there somewhere
once he was here
walked by my side
together we were
for ever more
I have a brother
somehow I would know
if he was gone
somehow I would know
darkness has no answer
the night has no end
cold wind cuts through me
I walk alone
