about

A dark, end of life story that ends in redemption and peace.

lyrics

BROTHER (M. Greene/Cormac O Caoimh)
Brother I’ve lost the feeling. Teach me how to be strong
There’s nothing right here. There is no light here.
How’d it end up so wrong?

Brother can you tell me. When night took the reins from day
Started out in light. Started out in light. Just to end up this way

And each small choice I made accumulated weight
Tipping over scales to the things I couldn’t face

Brother there’s no way out of this bed that I have made
But this bed is rest, this bed is peace, a welcome place to lay

But we tried you know we tried. You and I can feel some pride
We laughed as much as cried, But I’m tired
Brother don’t you fear. The way’s becoming clear
The coat of arms we share I will hold dear. I will hold dear

Brother do you see it? The open road ahead
My passage paid to the peaceful days that stretch before the dead
My passage paid to the peaceful days that stretch before the dead
