"Brothers in Arms"


These mist-covered

Mountains

Have dragged us

Into harm

But not even this

Fog can

Separate us

Brothers in Arms

 

These sun-baked

Sand dunes

Have dragged us

Into harm

But not even this

Heat can

Beat down us

Brothers in Arms

 

This towering 

Forest

Has dragged us

Into harm

But not even this

Shade can

Blind us

Brothers in Arms 

 

This monstrous

Ocean

Has dragged us

Into harm

But not even this

Vastness

Can drown us

Brothers in Arms

 

These broken 

City streets

Have dragged us

Into harm

But not even these

Dead memories

Can shake us

Brothers in Arms

 

This never-ending

Hardship

Has dragged us

Into harm

But we'd be fools

To make war on our

Brothers in Arms
