Oh Brother of Mine

Oh Brother of mine
I am sorry we didn't have a chance to speak again
Time is the greatest silencer of speech
you think that you have so much of it
and then it's gone.
How foolish we are to think that
we have time
when it is that we simply don't
but instead that it is Time which has us.

Oh Brother of mine 
I am sorry we didn't have a chance to meet again
Routine is the greatest delusion of man
you think that everything will stay as it has
and now you're gone.
How foolish I was to think that
you would always be around.

Oh Lover of mine
I am sorry we didn't have a chance to kiss again
Apathy is the greatest killer of passion
you think that you will make things right
and then they leave.

Oh God of mine
I am sorry I haven't believed in you again
Life is the greatest denouncer of faith

Oh Brother of mine
I miss you                                                        (I want to see you)

Oh Brother of mine
please come back                                              (so that I can see you)

Oh Lover of mine
I miss you                                                        (I want to kiss you)

Oh Lover of mine
please come back                                              (so that I can kiss you)

Oh God of mine
I miss you                                                        (I want to believe in you)

Oh God of mine
please come back                                              (so that I can believe in you)

Oh Brother of mine                                            
                                                                      (Oh Brother)
Oh Lover of mine                                               
                                                                      (Oh Lover)
Oh God of mine                                                 
                                                                      (Oh God)
