Brothers

(Edward)

How can I repay you, brother mine?

How can I expect you to forgive?

Clinging to the past

I shed our blood, and shattered your chance to live

Though I knew the laws, I paid no heed

How can I return your wasted breath?

What I did not know has cost you dear,

For there is no cure for death

Beautiful Mother,

Soft and sweet, once you were gone

We were not complete

Back through the years

We reached for you

Alas t'was not meant to be

And how can I make amends for all that I took from you?

I led you with hopeless dreams

My brother, I was a fool

Don't cry for the past now, brother mine

Neither you nor I are free from blame

Nothing can erase the things we did,

For the path we took was the same

Beautiful Mother,

Soft and sweet, once you were gone

We were not complete

Back through the years

We reached for you

Alas t'was not meant to be

My dreams made me blind and mute

I longed to return to that time

I followed without a word

My brother, the fault is mine

So, where do we go from here?

And how to forget and forgive?

What's gone is forever lost

Now, all we can do is live
