Orphaned Land - Brother lyrics

This story began before I was born
A childless woman cried sadly at home
Her maid gave birth to a child of her own
My father felt joy yet he was torn

A conflict began one day at dawn
The maid took your hand and you were gone
To the desert you left, towards the unknown
I reckon you were so alone

God will hear you oh, my blood
For the years you roamed in dirt and mud
Forsaken like a nomad, deserted in the flood
Forgive me, brother

You did nothing wrong and took all the shame
I suffered myself, yet I am to blame
The lord blessed us both
But we still fight and claim
That kid on the mountain, -what was his name?

Brother hear my plea tonight
I grew tired from these endless years of
(our) fight from a tiny corner stone we may
Build our realm of light
Please hear me, brother
