Brother
By Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd rather fight for you than in the holy war
Which I am not connected to
I've been a hundred miles away
There's nothing words can say
But brothers we are
Oh, brothers we are
It's 1989, so take your time
It's a once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime-deal
You are the star tonight
So brother, make it right
And hit the lights
It's a once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime-deal
Brother, you and I we look the same
You might not want to know
But that's what I've been told
And heroes don't come easily
In a hundred years from now
We've lost the track of time
But brothers we are
Oh, brothers we are
You are the star tonight
It's 1989, so take your time
It's a once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime-deal
You are the star tonight
So brother, make it right
And hit the lights
It's a once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime-deal
Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime chance
You are the star tonight
It's 1989, so take your time
It's a once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime-deal
You are the star tonight
So brother, make it right
And hit the lights
It's a once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime-deal

But I will not belittle those who regret their actions... and suffer over the things they did as demons... I will never trample over them!''- kamado tanjiro
