lyrics

These two men while not related lived like brothers shared one heart
So much that their blood relations could scarcely tell these men apart
One spring morning while out riding they found a man along their path
A wealthy merchant cart turned over, scattered gold and broken back

Every one of us
All of us, all of us
We are all capable of evil and righteousness
Our hearts are as the moon as the moon
Always a bright side and the darkness too

A fortune piled up for the taking
Each man wondered to himself of principle of consequence
Of a life with so much wealth
The first stepped forward, his eyes flashing
He drew his sword and killed the man
The other stood struck with horror at the actions of his friend

Brother have you lost your senses?
Murder for a bag of gold?
I’d sooner strike you down myself than live with this upon my soul
The killer, overcome with passion, lashed out at his honest friend
Who drew his sword in disbelief and killed him in his own defense

Every one of us
All of us, all of us
We are all capable of evil and righteousness
Our hearts are as the moon as the moon
Always a bright side and the darkness too

What a GREAT album! It has been a while since I found an album that I could listen to from beginning to end without skipping. Classic Ian MacKaye vocals. Amy Farina absolutely kills it on drums. I hadn't heard of Joe Lally on Bass, but really enjoyed his singing/bass. I highly advise checking this out. You'll get hooked. I love "Clean Kill" but "BQM" does it for me (love the beat). Congrats Coriky! Nicely done! Can't wait to see you live!!! dabeave666
