[Verse 1]
On a brutal winter night
We stood bravely side by side
Against snowballs launched our way
By the enemies of our kind
[Verse 2]
In a graveyard's mourning light
We both choked up, cried and cried
As the angels lifted him
On d**h's gloomy wings of flight
[Chorus]
And you declared me dead, my brother
For the crime of being me
For all the faults I have
Well, I still cannot believe
[Chorus]
That you declared me dead, my brother
For the crime of being me
For all the faults I have
Well, I still cannot believe
[Hook]
And my only wish for you, my brother
Is someday you'll understand
How it feels to be a corpse
Walking amongst your fellow man
[Verse 3]
In the haze of our carefree youth
We both wildly joked and joked
About wicked ironies
Of the enemies of Truth
[Verse 4]
Beside a pool so crystal blue
Really both had hoped
That good luck would fill our lives
In everything we would pursue
[Chorus]
But you declared me dead, my brother
For the crime of being me
For all the faults I have
Well, I still cannot believe
[Chorus]
That you declared me dead, my brother
For the crime of being me
For all the faults I have
Well, I still cannot believe
[Hook]
And my only wish for you, my brother
Is someday you' ll understand
How it feels to be a corpse
Walking amongst your fellow man
[Outro]
And yet the pain has made me strong
I forgive you, you're my brother
