When Brothers drift away - Ninebranch

Generated with AI Songtext "When Brothers drift away" [VERSE 1] I drew my line in the pouring rain With tired hands and a heart of pain Not for a crown, not for a throne But for the ones I call my own I guard the names inside my chest The loyal hearts that gave their best Every vow I chose to make Is one no storm will ever break Black clouds came with hungry eyes Tried to swallow all our skies But I stood firm before the night And kept my fire burning bright I do not fight for hate or pride I fight for those who stand beside The blood in me means love and pain Not chains, not flags, not poisoned names [CHORUS] I hold the line tonight Keep black clouds from the light For every heart I swore To guard forevermore Through fire, frost and rain I rise against the pain No storm will make me fall I stand for them all [VERSE 2] My veins remember every hand That pulled me up when I could not stand Every friend who stayed through flame Every voice that spoke my name So I protect what we have built Through broken roads and years of guilt Not by crushing what I see But by becoming what they need No bitter tongue, no hollow blame Will ever feed this northern flame If someone falls, I reach below And help their dying embers glow The world may turn its back again May send the thunder, send the rain But I will not let darkness grow Above the souls I came to know [CHORUS] I hold the line tonight Keep black clouds from the light For every heart I swore To guard forevermore Through fire, frost and rain I rise against the pain No storm will make me fall I stand for them all [VERSE 3] I know the weight of silent days When hope gets lost in darker ways I know how heavy shadows feel When wounded hearts forget to heal If your fire burns far from mine Guard it well through storm and night I won’t break the past in two Just because we lost the truth That is why I raise my hand For those too tired to rise and stand That is why I face the sky And tell the black clouds to pass by No oath is real if left unshown No line is held by words alone You guard your people when they break And give more strength than you can take So let the cold wind scream my name I still defend the living flame For every soul beneath my care I stand my ground, I will be there [FINAL CHORUS] I hold the line tonight Keep black clouds from the light For every heart I swore To guard forevermore Through fire, frost and rain I rise against the pain No storm will make me fall I stand for them all
