Madds Buckley Brother
Oh brother of mine
It's been a long long time
Since I've seen my face in your eyes
Oh brother, I've returned
To my burn scars of birth
Charcoal and iron brought me back
And I left you alone
In a house, not a home
And I watched the burning grow
As my hair filled with gray
From the ashes that fell
The mountains I knew so well
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of midnight
Brother, I watched the sky burn
And all I learned was
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease
Oh brother, I see
You burn like me
The singes on our skin like a brand
Oh brother, I confess
There is little of me left
That could care about dousing the wildfire
And I left you alone
In a house, not a home
And I watched the burning grow
As my hair filled with gray
From the ashes that fell
The mountains I knew so well
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of midnight
Brother I watched the sky burn
And all I learned was
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease
Oh brother, did you know
You could just strike a match
Hear him scream my name one last time
Oh brother, I am home
In the fires of our youth
I could care less if it hurts you anymore
And I left you alone
In a house, not a home
And I watched the burning grow
As my hair filled with gray
From the ashes that fall
The mountains I knew so well
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of midnight
Brother I watched the sky burn
And all I learned was
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease
