The Petal Falls - Between My Brother And Me

When night comes like a blanket
smothering the skies
Choking out the sun
until it fades and dies
Nailed like shining pins
That stretch a canvas tight
More stars than can be counted
Are holding up the night
Moving through the shadows
Is a black heart
Building walls of ignorance and malice
Is a black heart

See this wall between my brother and me
Yeah we're gonna tear it down
Tumbling down
All that stands between my brother and me
Y' know piece by piece
Tumbling down

Twisted wire across steel and stone
Your fighting fire with just flesh and bone
Like madmen baying to a raging moon
Hear their feverish words to a bigoted tune
In daybreaks mercy lies a bleeding heart
just another martyr who played his part
Just another name we carve in stone
On this wall of silence that some still condone

See this wall between my brother and me
Yeah we're gonna tear it all down
Tumbling down
All that stands between my brother and me
Y' know piece by piece
Tumbling down
See this wall between my brother and me
C'mon kick it down kick it down
Tumbling down

This land is red from the blood we have shed
for a, for a thousand years
It should have been fertile and green
From a, from a million tears
The scars of generations won't fade away
They haunt our lives almost everyday
How many mothers will lose another son
To satisfy the hunger of the bullet and the gun
Take my hand and walk with me
Take my hand and talk to me
We all love and we all grieve
We all share this air we breath

See this wall between my brother and me
C'mon kick it all down
All that stands between my brother and me
Yeah tumbling, tumbling down
Tumbling down
See this wall between my brother and me
See this wall between my brother and me
Tumbling down
All that stands between my brother and me
All that stands yeah i gotta kick it all down
Tumbling down
See this wall between my brother and me
See this wall between my brother and me
Tumbling down
All that stands between my brother and me
All that stands, all that stands, all that stands
Tumbling down
See this wall between my brother and me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, see this wall
Tumbling down
All that stands between my brother and me
All that stands between my brother and me
Tumbling down
