Took My Brother Down

Lyrics

I Heard You Took My Brother Down
 Like A Beast His Blood Was Found
 Along The Road To The Edge Of Town
 With All The Sirens Blaring
 I've Since Heard Tell His Empty Hands
 Were Raised Above His Head
 Just When The Shots Rang Out And Through His Skin
 The Metal Went Ablazing
 A Whole Shot In The Carpel Wall
 The Shattered Bone And Then The Fall
 From Citizen To Martyrdom
 The People All Glaring
 And When His Head Did Hit The Earth
 Were You Reminded Of His Birth?
 Descending To His Country
 With Grace And Hope Abounding?
 But You're A Man Of Principle
 Of Boundaries Set Up Quite Simple
 And You Start To Kill Like A Bomb
 When The Right People Rub You Wrong
 And If You Call It Self Defense Then
 You Will Bear No Consequence
 You Put My Dear Brother In The Ground
 And Who's Gonna Defend Him Now?
 I Heard You Took My Brother Down
 Just A Boy His Blood Was Found
 Along The Road To The Edge Of Town
 The People All Staring
 I've Since Heard Tell You've Been Set Free
 You're Settled In Your Certainty
 But Honey I Just Don't Believe
 You've Got It Figured Out
