Brother, I was weak when you were strong,
You suffer of my own making
Would you accept my apologies in advance?
I can't help myself to walk away

I chain you to this earth
I watch the shovel turn
I see you lowered down
Under this hollowed ground

I'm powerless to change
Your bitter fate
Cowardice and pain
But I won't turn away
I led you to this path
You tread alone

And I chose the eastern star,
But it was a false dawn
The nightmare rained down hard,
On those I had convinced I knew it all

I'm powerless to change
Your bitter fate
Cowardice and pain
But I won't turn away
I led you to this path
You tread alone
