lyrics

The Blood-Brotherhood of Persons of the Universe
Words by Tin Ujevic, Music by John Kruth

Do not fear, you are not alone,
There are others but for you who are unknown
Live your life, everything you’ve heard and dreamed
With the same fire and beauty that burns within

Be not proud, your thoughts are not yours alone
They live in others who have tread the same dark path
We have all, we have all gone astray
Searching yet esteemed just the same

Chorus
Share a bit with others, it’s been the same since ancient times
We all repeat the great and the pure
Be like children who know not yet their names
Join the blood brotherhood of persons of the universe
Join the blood brotherhood of persons of the universe

Others may share their might and sin with us
Our dreams, they all come from a common spring
Our souls are fed from a common bowl
The stamp of the self lies centered in the brow

It’s hard to say thin in the ear of arrogance
But be happy for the fortune of despair
We’re all the same in malignity and joy
With the freight of destiny resting on our backs
Chorus
Far off on some unknown star, unraveled
Yet hanging there by a thread
Like a flower, dead and broken in a world that glides
Oh when will I make it there in my soul?

I’m still myself, willful even when I’m gone
The point of the peak is hidden by the mass
Oh universe I love and die in all
I tarry in my brothers of no name
Chorus
