Brother's Bane
TYR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me aid you in your aim, don't stay behind let's
Maim immortality and death to a deity
There's no reason to defend, nothing can harm him
Let's say it's just pretend, extend your arm and
Bend now this fatal bow and with this mistletoe
My greed and gain
Your brother's bane
My greed and gain
Grieving, my teeth I grind, I see it now
You mischievous mastermind, for this I vow
You'll pay in a paragon of sorrow, you made my son
Your brother's bane
My greed and gain
Your brother's bane
My greed and gain
Somehow, by good or ill,
Some have their will
And some care not if they kill,
Scorching their spirit
So tales are torn apart and cold
Conscience close their heart
Can't save them now
Just kneel and bow
Can't save them now
All die somehow
Your brother's bane
My greed and gain
Your brother's bane
My greed and gain
Your brother's bane
My greed and gain
Your brother's bane
My greed and gain
