There was a time

When I called the night my friend

And felt no pain

Only a child

And the light of innocence

Burned bright as day

Flesh and blood

The ties of life we're one and same

Pure freedom

Born to share his brother's name



Feeling the rain

I've felt a thousand times before

Yet it seems so cold

Dove white as snow

Trying to weather one more storm

Lays on the ground

Broken wings

Helpless from the fate it's given

Fragile thing

I couldn't save it from it's cruel end



Innocent one

Comes upon a cold device

And time stands still

Sound of a shot

And his heart turns cold as ice

Life unfulfilled

All my guilt

I wished I was the one to die

Brother killed

Now I live to question why



Search my soul to try and find a reason

Losing faith in all that I believe in



Shade my eyes

From the windows of the past

Too late to save

Promise has died

With a vision that can't last

To fate a slave

Piece by piece

I've tried to mend my heart forsaken

No release

A nightmare and I can't awaken



Search my soul to try and find a reason

Losing faith in all that I believe in

Now I know that the bird was a sign

The blame for this forever will be mine
