Today I Cried
The words were like a thousand needles to my heart
My soul crumbled and bled as my composure fell apart
I tried to hold my head high and choke back all the pain
But my pride became a memory drowned out by the rain
My will so stubborn and strong
became weak and tierd at the thought of you gone
I had no words to say as the tears fell down my face
I sat only in silence as the judge closed the case
The look in your eye
Will haunt me until I die
twenty five years and you shed not a tear
you smiled at the judge and showed no fear
Your empire was gone
they took everything you owned
but you were loyal to the end to every single friend
your silence was like the steel that they would never bend
even when we were kids and the beatings would set in
You never left my side brother you were loyal to the end
The world so cruel forced your hardended soul
Then they condemned you for learning to be cold
I wish that life had given us the chance to rise above
But how can you kill the hate when you were never shown to love
Prison will never break the bond that family holds so dear
I will stand beside you brother i will always be here
I will accomplish all I've dreamded of
And i will make you proud
You are the only family that I have to love
And I will not be a victim of the crowd
