These Are They - The Sins Of My Brothers

My tongue brought lies, like maggots to this body, we trust no more.
To sell my eyes and forsake my brethren, those I've betrayed.
Recount my tale, with every painful breath, we were a brotherhood.
Not of this blood, with honor just as deep, family wounds.

Liberate my blood of this disgrace, for I've witnessed the sins of my brothers.
Reliving my deceit in the company of lies, bleeding out on a cold basement floor.

Open the door, inviting my killer in, swallowing pride.
A warm embrace, assurance I'm forgiven, building my trust.
Prepare a meal for us to dine as family, my back is turned.
A brutal pain that takes my breath away, knocked to the floor

Liberate my blood of this disgrace, for I've witnessed the sins of my brothers.
Reliving my deceit in the company of lies, bleeding out on a cold basement floor.

My tongue brought lies, like maggots to this body, we trust no more.
To sell my eyes and forsake my brethren, those I've betrayed.
Recount my tale, with every painful breath, we were a brotherhood.
Not of this blood, with honor just as deep.
