Brothers [feat. Esperia Quartet]


Where is the line? When a father tells his son not to be a child? When he just wants to hide his cruel deeds from him? When he sees his wife turn sick from what he does? It didn't stop one of the bigest monsters of mankind in the last century even when his own son got lost in his machinary of death. John Boyne's "The Boy In The Stripped Pyjamas" tells a fictional story, based on a way to cruel and true story. 


 

crawled underneath the fence

long before the rain began

stripped identity for a game 

with numbers but no names

 

Brothers, born from different wombs

guided by a map of lies

what they were out to find 

is buried deep in the sky 

 

[to his sister:]

in what could she believe?

traded innocence for idols

a pair of bright blue eyes

matched with this new belief

 

just one life, salvaged 

would save the whole world, but you did not!

all life, ended, but my smoke 

will turn the rain in your face to tears

 

now hounds are on their trail

thunder summons death with bawl

those who fall are left behind

in roaring silence

 

the rain has come, drenched in fear 

shoved together, skin to skin

this is no shelter, but a cage

... that cuts off breath

 

[to his mother:]

when did sorrow catch her soul?

this scent will never leave her thoughts 

she swings in circles and screams inside

"just not like this!"

 

just one life, salvaged 

would save the whole world, but you did not!

all life, ended, but my smoke 

will turn the rain in your face to tears
