Once we were kids playing king of the mountain out on the end

World come chargin' up the hill, and we were women and men

We stood by each other's side, each one fightin' one for the other

And we swore until we died we'd always be blood brothers



Now the hardness of this world slowly grinds your dreams away

Makin' a fool's joke out of the promises we make

It's a long and dirty ride son, and there ain't much cover

With no one runnin' by your side my blood brother



On through the houses of the dead past those fallen in their tracks

Always movin' ahead and never lookin' back

And this dirty light shines across a highway way unfurled

And this love burns inside me like the last light in the world

In the night, shining bright, like some mystery uncovered

I'll keep movin' through the dark with you in my heart

My blood brother
