Come, My Brothers, You and I

Lyrics1. Should friendships die when brothers leave, and oaths belie while brothers grieve, When bonds of love, life and soul Link us above life’s sordid role?

2. Should cares enchain the seeker’s heart, and grief and pain set us apart, When hearts that link bind us so near On trouble’s bring prove vows sincere?

Chorus: Come my brothers you and I Sip the pleasures passing by Ruby drops of blood still glow In light of ties that stronger grow. Drain the moments sweet, divine, Filled with golden nectar’d wine, Youthful hearts where hopes run high, Bless the brothers’ tie.
