Stare into the face of my brother
His features have faded into dust
He lies here now, waiting for the darkness
Carrying the hopes and dreams we shared

He stood among the ravaged so courageous
His figure stoic and so brave
Cut down in shrouds of subtle irony
For years I prayed that it had taken me

In the absence of a god
In the absence of belief
I will never let this go
I will never let this sleep
In the absence of a god
In the absence of belief
I will never let this go
I will never let this sleep

For reasons I have long since forgotten
I could never bear the thought of an end
Years have passed and still I wonder
If I had been the one, where would he be?

Through suffering and pain I've come to realize
Knowing all that I have survived
Only loses and complete destruction
Can release the demons that grow inside

In the absence of a god
In the absence of belief
I will never let this go
I will never let this sleep
In the absence of a god
In the absence of belief
I will never let this go
I have fallen in too deep.
