Orphaned Land - My Brother's Keeper lyrics
[Orphaned Land - My Brother's Keeper lyrics]
I have to go back
These thoughts and voices in my head are
Haunting me at night and torturing my soul
Lord, I'm alone out here
What use can I find in this outer
World if I am not my brother's keeper?
I have to go back
It's beyond my prophetic knowledge to
Understand the reasons those
Dead messiahs failed again and
Again and again
Throughout the dark history of mankind
And yet i have to go back
To save these shades, souls with faded hearts
Brothers of my pain, they grew
(up) without any love
Pain is the lack of love so their souls
They will not save
In jail they choose to live they
Will die to save their cage
They are trapped inside
How can we communicate
How can I reach your hearts if we are
Poisoned and brainwashed, blocked by walls
All our filters are decayed and our
Compassion is just switched off
How will you hear my words and pleas
How will you trust me when I tell you
(Come with me to the Promised Land
I'll set you free)
I exist not to be loved and admired
But to love and act
It is not the duty of those
Around me to love me
Rather, it is my duty to
Be concerned about the world, about man
I have to go back
My scars bleed again
From light into the dark
Again I cannot see but I have to go back!
With fear in my heart and the
Truth I run back to hell
To this cave of chains and
Despair where my brothers dwell
These thoughts and voices in my head are
Haunting me at night and torturing my soul
Lord, I'm alone out here
What use can I find in this outer
World if I am not my brother's keeper?
I have to go back
It's beyond my prophetic knowledge to
Understand the reasons those
Dead messiahs failed again and
Again and again
Throughout the dark history of mankind
And yet i have to go back
To save these shades, souls with faded hearts
Brothers of my pain, they grew
(up) without any love
Pain is the lack of love so their souls
They will not save
In jail they choose to live they
Will die to save their cage
They are trapped inside
How can we communicate
How can I reach your hearts if we are
Poisoned and brainwashed, blocked by walls
All our filters are decayed and our
Compassion is just switched off
How will you hear my words and pleas
How will you trust me when I tell you
(Come with me to the Promised Land
I'll set you free)
I exist not to be loved and admired
But to love and act
It is not the duty of those
Around me to love me
Rather, it is my duty to
Be concerned about the world, about man
I have to go back
My scars bleed again
From light into the dark
Again I cannot see but I have to go back!
With fear in my heart and the
Truth I run back to hell
To this cave of chains and
Despair where my brothers dwell
