Once Were Brothers Songtext
When the light went out, I carried on
I left my brothers, and now they′re gone
When the light went out, though I found my way
Out of the darkness, there was a price to pay
Once were brothers, brothers no more
Our faith in each other, died in the war
There'll be no revival, there′ll be no encore
Once were brothers, brothers no more
When the curtain came down, I let go the past
I broke new ground, left what couldn't last
When the curtain came down, on the final act
I paid the price, for never going back
Once were brothers, brothers no more
Our faith in each other, died in the war
There'll be no revival, there′ll be no encore
Once were brothers, brothers no more
We already duked it out, between the north and south
When I heard the shout, coming out of your mouth
But we stood together ′cause, we were kin
And when the band played Dixie, we came marching in
Now the bleachers are empty, the voices are still
The stage is deserted, and the house on the hill
With prospects commanding, that we once gazed on
And the last man standing, when all the others are gone
Once were brothers, brothers no more
Our faith in each other, died in the war
There'll be no revival, there′ll be no encore
Once were brothers, brothers no more
There'll be no revival, no velvet encore
Once were brothers, brothers no more
Once were brothers
Brothers no more
I left my brothers, and now they′re gone
When the light went out, though I found my way
Out of the darkness, there was a price to pay
Once were brothers, brothers no more
Our faith in each other, died in the war
There'll be no revival, there′ll be no encore
Once were brothers, brothers no more
When the curtain came down, I let go the past
I broke new ground, left what couldn't last
When the curtain came down, on the final act
I paid the price, for never going back
Once were brothers, brothers no more
Our faith in each other, died in the war
There'll be no revival, there′ll be no encore
Once were brothers, brothers no more
We already duked it out, between the north and south
When I heard the shout, coming out of your mouth
But we stood together ′cause, we were kin
And when the band played Dixie, we came marching in
Now the bleachers are empty, the voices are still
The stage is deserted, and the house on the hill
With prospects commanding, that we once gazed on
And the last man standing, when all the others are gone
Once were brothers, brothers no more
Our faith in each other, died in the war
There'll be no revival, there′ll be no encore
Once were brothers, brothers no more
There'll be no revival, no velvet encore
Once were brothers, brothers no more
Once were brothers
Brothers no more
