Brothers - Dan Bull

A distant district full of mystery

A kid with history

He lost his mother in the sea

And thus he missed her deeply

What a disastrous event

He’s not going to let it happen again

Whether dragons or men

He’s battling them

To protect his family

Prevent the tragedy happening again

But the chances are stacking against it

His dad has collapsed

He’s had an attack

And that’s going to test his friendship

With his brother

They grab the barrow and drag it

To one of the medicine men quick

The medic is hesitant

It’s evident this will need better than lemsip

It’s time for the siblings to set aside their quibblings

In favour of the big things and stride with all their might

Until they find the tree of life whose leaves provide a healing liquid

The quicker they fly, the quicker they might

Relieve their father’s sickness

Brothers A Tale of Two Sons

The family bond will have to be strong

If they’re going to take calamity on

Collaborate, co-operate

Co-ordinating, carrying on

Challenges, allergies, tragedies, maladies

Neither or either of them are a fan of these

No reprieve for a breather, It’s anarchy

Don’t know where we would be without family

These brothers need mothers

Like they need each other

One of them to man the oars

The other one to be the rudder

Whether covered in blood or mud

The blood runs deep

Deep as the allegiance these loved ones keep

It guards you while you sleep

Holds back the darkness

Cold as a carcass

With soul black and heartless

But there’s something it can’t touch

And that’s fraternity

Try as you might to break

It last for an eternity

Brothers A Tale of Two Sons

I’m lost without him

A moth without wings

It’s like I lost a limb

My arms are crossed without him

Cross my heart

My heart is crushed without him

I’d cross the mountain tops

A thousand times again to bring him back

But I can’t

No matter just how much I’m shouting

I’m drowning

The current pulls me down

There’s no one else so much as helping

What woud my brother do?

Haven’t got a clue

But I feel a fire that burns in me

And lifts me, It’s fraternity

Try as you might to break it

It lasts for an eternity

Yes, there’s something you can’t crush

And that’s fraternity

Try as you might to break

It lasts for an eternity
