Right on man


brother, brother stand beside me,
when raids of bombs drop to our feet,
brother, brother stand beside me,
when airplanes pass by in fleets,
oh brother, brother stand beside me,
when we are deployed,
and our families distressed.

brother, brother stand beside me,
when our fellows greet death,
brother, brother stand beside me,
when face to face with our foes,
oh brother, brother stand beside me,
when foreign flags rise to the air,
and when we must flee with despair,

brother, brother stand beside me,
through all the pain I am bound to see,
brother, brother stand beside me,
when blood and scars riddle my body,
and brother, brother stand beside me,
when bullets shatter my bones,

brother, brother stand beside me,
when brotherhood is all that is left,
oh brother, brother stand beside me,
when the candle of hope flickers,
and when I pull the trigger,

brother, brother hike with me,
to a land where ecstasy thrusts,
brother, brother sit beside me,
please, look up at the constellations,
where a mystical lion awaits us,
brother, brother stand beside me,
when day goes to dusk,
brother, brother stand beside me,
when home is our deepest lust,
brother, brother stand beside me,
when my pulse becomes silent,
oh brother, brother visit my grave,
when the world ends this riot.

oh brother, brother,
this I will oath,
I will look at the stars
and the foes I will loathe,
I will house my memories with my scars
and lust the rhapsodies of home,
I will assist you through the painting
and visit your catacomb,
but only, if you promise the same.

This is my point of view on war and brotherhood, the last stanza is what "brother" is saying in reply to the piece above.
