Brothers Duet

It's about the suicide of a brother. Suddenness met with disbelief, followed by agony, turning into hope.

Brothers Duet

Remember when we used to run

Like unchained dogs towards the sun

A bond to last till our last breath

Stormed the unknown, we feared no death

You, my compass, you guided me right

Once I was lost in the darkest night

I would be there to reach out my hand

Fallen you I would help you stand

Together we’d be, the path bright and clear

Taken for granted you’d always be near

Yet inconceivable truth would be on its way

Soon to come to steal you away

Haven't I seen you just a moment before 

Looked again you weren’t there no more

Deceive me again my foolish eyes

I will not fall for your vapid lies

Sooner or later will you reappear

‘I never left, I was always here’

A puerile jest but no harm done

Back you will be with me to run

You've been gone for a little too long

It dawned on me that something was wrong

Closed my eyes as, was doubting my sight

Once open again, the day had turned night

My heart erupted the chest was burning

To hear your voice I begged I was yearning

All the trees they lied to be you

The one I missed, this could not be true

Turned every stone that lay on the ground

Search after search you couldn’t be found

And then it fell, the final curtain

The hours turned doubtful to terribly certain

How could this be, was I ever so blind

Not to notice your troubled young mind

How oblivious and vain must I've been

Neglecting the needs of my blood brother kin

The guilt devours what's left behind

Unforgiving is time I cannot rewind

Day after day, I am longing to see

Aching to know, where you just might be

Till I die will I ask myself Why?

How could you leave without a goodbye

If you were, right here with me

Laughing, you’d say 'Live your life, let it be'

Tortured love, please heal, be brave

Past is past, don’t take it to grave

Run, be wild and seize the day

Make him proud, don't waste your stay

Wait for me me my dear little brother

I will join you, not this day, but another

Till death comes, I shall not forget

Will always remember, our brothers duet
