The Sins Of My Brothers

My tongue brought lies, like maggots to this body, we trust no more
To sell my eyes and forsake my brethren, those I've betrayed
Recount my tale, with every painful breath, we were a brotherhood
Not of this blood, with honor just as deep, family wounds

Liberate my blood of this disgrace
For I've witnessed the sins of my brothers
Reliving my deceit in the company of lies
Bleeding out on a cold basement floor

Open the door, inviting my killer in, swallowing pride
A warm embrace, assurance I'm forgiven, building my trust
Prepare a meal for us to dine as family, my back is turned
A brutal pain that takes my breath away, knocked to the floor

Liberate my blood of this disgrace
For I've witnessed the sins of my brothers
Reliving my deceit in the company of lies
Bleeding out on a cold basement floor

My tongue brought lies, like maggots to this body, we trust no more
To sell my eyes and forsake my brethren, those I've betrayed
Recount my tale, with every painful breath, we were a brotherhood
Not of this blood, with honor just as deep
