Brotherslayer Lyrics


Looks into his eyes

Feels no sorrow

The dance of steel on steel

Echoes of a brother's hate

The brother's tongue

laced with lies

Pours out his poison

Lets out

All the lies

Words of festering hatred

Under the darkening winter sky

All that he loved he now denies

From thrice-cursed sheath

He draws the sword

and calls out to his brother

Whispers from evergreens

Carry out the tale of misery

When the brother's face each other

Once and for all

Jealousy or insanity?

What plagues his mind?

Madness burns in his blood

As he plunges the dagger deeper

The other man looks back

Only sorrow in his eyes

Eyes blind with tears

and his heart full of grief

Whispers from evergreens

Carry out the tale of misery

When the brother's face each other

Once and for all

Far above the northern lights

Reflect the cosmic tragedy

In the snow, on earth below

The brother's blood

now stains the snow

Carried on the winds

A tale of great tragedy

In the north

In the everfrost

Are the brothers ready

To set each other's souls free

So sang the evergreens

Carrying the tale of misery

On the ground

My brother lies

The light fading from his eyes

Far above the northern lights

Reflect the cosmic tragedy

In the snow, on earth below

The brother's blood

now stains the snow

Under the northern sky

Plays out an earthly tragedy

In the freezing morning sun

The brother's life is fading away
