Brothers' Tears

from the album

Slaughterhouse

Inspiration

The song is dedicated to Tibet and those Monks who sacrificed their lives by self-immolation to protest China's policy in their homeland. The piece was performed by Relicseed to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama before his lecture "Culture of Compassion" in Riga, Latvia in 2013.

Lyrics

VERSE 1

Hide and seek around the world
Too small, too weak to find the word
We gather here to pray for peace
Bodies burn to plant the seed

VERSE 2

The surface melts aside the mind
Flames are kissing empty thoughts
No more shelter do we find
Brothers` tears roll down for roots

VERSE 3

Fashion spells the potent greed
Abandoned human feelings feed
The suffocation what is agreed
To be the normal way to proceed

CHORUS (x2)
