Amorphis - The Brother-Slayer lyrics

[Amorphis - The Brother-Slayer lyrics]

Where have you been, where have you been
My son, my merry son?
On the seashore, on the seashore
Mother, my darling one

And what have you been doing there
My son, my merry son?
I have been watering my horse
Mother, my darling one

Why is there blood upon your feet
My son, my merry son?
My horse stamped with it's iron shoe
Mother, my darling one
Why there is blood upon your sword
My son, my merry son?
I have stabbed my brother to death
Mother, my darling one

What now of you, where will you go
My son, my wretched son?
To other lands to foreign lands
My dame, my darling one

When will you be returning home
My son, my wretched son?
When all the world to judgment comes
My dame, my darling one

Why is there blood upon your feet
My son, my merry son?
My horse stamped with it's iron shoe
Mother, my darling one

Why there is blood upon your sword
My son, my merry son?
I have stabbed my brother to death
Mother, my darling one
