[Verse 1]
You were standing in the doorway
Sand in your hair
Calling me a gifted kid
Like you really cared
You said
"I see something
Burning in your eyes"
I thought you meant a future
You were warning me of fire
[Chorus]
Brother
Why’d you leave me on that shore?
Screaming in the smoke
You turned away once more
You said you loved me
Then you raised your sword
Obi-Wan and Anakin
Two sides of a war
[Verse 2]
We were spinning through the starfields
Laughing at the odds
I was chasing every danger
You were praying to your gods
You kept preaching patience
I kept hearing chains
You were my calm in the cockpit
Till I drove us both insane
[Chorus]
Brother
Why’d you leave me on that shore?
Screaming in the smoke
You turned away once more
You said you loved me
Then you raised your sword
Obi-Wan and Anakin
Two sides of a war
[Bridge]
Do you hear me in the breathing? (yeah)
Do you feel me when you dream?
All that trust we turned to ashes
All that hope between the screams
You said
"You were my brother"
I said
"You’re too late"
Guess we never learned the difference
Between destiny and fate
[Chorus]
Brother
Why’d you leave me on that shore?
Screaming in the smoke
You turned away once more
You said you loved me
Then you swung that sword
Obi-Wan and Anakin
Both lost in the storm
[Outro]
From the temple to the lava
From the promise to the fall
I was yours
You were my master
Now there’s only masks and walls
Call my name across the silence
If there’s anything still there
I’ll be waiting on that high ground
Like a ghost in burnt-out air
