Between My Brother And Me Lyrics

When night comes like a blanket

smothering the skies

Choking out the sun

until it fades and dies

Nailed like shining pins

That stretch a canvas tight

More stars than can be counted

Are holding up the night

Moving through the shadows

Is a black heart

Building walls of ignorance and malice

Is a black heart

See this wall between my brother and me

Yeah we're gonna tear it down

Tumbling down

All that stands between my brother and me

Y' know piece by piece

Tumbling down

Twisted wire across steel and stone

Your fighting fire with just flesh and bone

Like madmen baying to a raging moon

Hear their feverish words to a bigoted tune

In daybreaks mercy lies a bleeding heart

just another martyr who played his part

Just another name we carve in stone

On this wall of silence that some still condone

See this wall between my brother and me

Yeah we're gonna tear it all down

Tumbling down

All that stands between my brother and me

Y' know piece by piece

Tumbling down

See this wall between my brother and me

C'mon kick it down kick it down

Tumbling down

This land is red from the blood we have shed

for a, for a thousand years

It should have been fertile and green

From a, from a million tears

The scars of generations won't fade away

They haunt our lives almost everyday

How many mothers will lose another son

To satisfy the hunger of the bullet and the gun

Take my hand and walk with me

Take my hand and talk to me

We all love and we all grieve

We all share this air we breath

See this wall between my brother and me

C'mon kick it all down

All that stands between my brother and me

Yeah tumbling, tumbling down

Tumbling down

See this wall between my brother and me

See this wall between my brother and me

Tumbling down

All that stands between my brother and me

All that stands yeah i gotta kick it all down

Tumbling down

See this wall between my brother and me

See this wall between my brother and me

Tumbling down

All that stands between my brother and me

All that stands, all that stands, all that stands

Tumbling down

See this wall between my brother and me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, see this wall

Tumbling down

All that stands between my brother and me

All that stands between my brother and me

Tumbling down
