Brotherhood
Human Tetris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You once said
This love would never end
And I'll do the best I can
And even if no one understands

Two of us
Will sail too fast
Across the universe
Through our lives right to our tombs

Wherever you speak I hear your voice
Whenever you think I know your thoughts
Together we live, together we'll die
And I know this song can make you cry

I hope you see
How much you mean to me
And I'll do the best I can
And even if no one understands

Two of us
Will sail too fast




Across the universe
Through our lives right to our tombs
