do not think me damned
I am still a man
and all men
are my brothers
yes all men are my brothers
I’m from the land
where all women
are my daughters
here the dirt is pregnant
with the fat of my sacrifice
here the wind is
ripe with our songs
we are not prisoners
we are proud and strong
we are the kings and queens of the east
and there is always room
for more at the feast
we are the sons and the daughters of nod
we are shameless and guiltless
with no memory of god
your faith is no currency here
we bare the mark of defiance
the angels are nothing to fear
we won’t be controlled or compliant
give me no pity my friend
or you’ll soon meet your end
because all men are my brothers
yes all men are my brothers
I ripped up the word
plunged my hands in the dirt
turned my back
on the way of redemption
and with my woman by me
I turned my gaze to the east
I slaughtered a beast
and bathed
in the fat that was rendered
I slipped through the night
plunged a spike in the dirt
and knew that I was home forever
come sit at my table
or die at my hand
because all men are my brothers
yes all men are my brothers
we are strong men
we are vicious men
we are all brother
we are loving men
we are flawed men
we are all brothers
we are covetous men
we are murderous men
we are all brothers
we are good men
we are ugly men
we are all brothers
we are good men X ?
I am a good man
I am an ugly man
All men are my brothers
