He's my Evil Brother

from Cut Glass by Coz the Shroom

	/

lyrics

Oh my pain is somewhere else
not my heart
that's joke
Cause
I have no free will while I wear a hero's yoke
And my strength is ill found
ill conceived from the ground
from the floor to the roof
If it's just
is there proof?
I've been sired from songs and stories
Trained to grasp for hero's glory
My doubts the same as every other's
Born to kill my evil brother

I was raised by a sage
With an unfailing eye
And he said not to fail
or my whole world would die
Brother's dim and corrupt
once a time he looked up
He was joyful and proud
To have kinship around
I have seen dark lands he ravaged
Now I must admit he's savage
Still I doubt, as any other
He's my evil brother

From the time I was young
I was called to be strong
told my path would be great
And the road would be long
Bent great force to my will
yet I feel off and wrong
Tried to find destiny
From my anthem and song
placed my faith in whispered legends
there's no risk now I can hedge on
what's not clear to me, but others
He's my evil brother!
