letra de brother michael’s song (alternate performance) - leslie fish

Loading...

[verse 1]
brother michael is my name
i forsook wealth, and power and fame
to serve my god within these monastery walls
here i lived in joy and peace
my soul from worldly sins released
until a viking raider’s sword ended it all

[chorus]
there can be only one
but as long as i stand on holy ground
there will be two, no winner be found
and never will

[verse 2]
though my wounds were grievous sore
enough to k!ll five men or more
still, i lived while others died and i grew well
my brothers praised our lord above
for this sure sign of his great love
but was this gift from him or a subtle trap from h-ll

[chorus]
there can be only one
but as long as i stand on holy ground
there shall be two, no winner be found
and never will
[verse 3]
out of the dawn the stranger came
his face and blade not matching his name —
telling me of this long-played game, of gift and rules
though he spoke with wit and style
was this the truth or the devil’s wiles?
until i know i’ll not break my vows and play the fool

[chorus]
there can be only one
but as long as i stand on holy ground
there shall be two, no winner be found
and never will

[verse 3]
to give my life up willingly
would d-mn my soul for eternity
and all my vows prevent my taking up the sword
within these sacred walls i’ll stay
until the coming of judgment day —
or ’til i know we immortals serve my lord

[chorus]
there can be only one
but as long as i stand on holy ground
there shall be two, no winner be found
and never will
[verse 4]
the kurgan stands outside my door
as he so often has before
taunting me and seeking to pr-ck me in my pride
but with my brothers safe behind stone
i’ll leave him standing there alone
to tire of ranting and go away like the tide

[chorus]
there can be only one
but as long as i stand on holy ground
there shall be two, no winner be found
and never will

[verse 5]
but as i live my endless days
the world outside changes its ways
men now sail beneath the seas and in the sky
where once our faith did rule supreme
all that is now an ancient dream
accountants decide which churches live or die

[chorus]
there can be only one
but as long as i stand on holy ground
there shall be two, no winner be found
and never will
[verse 6]
the village children now go away
rome says we cost too much to stay
the priests now come my ancient home to de-sanctify
and all these years i’ve guarded well
striving to save the world from h-ll —
are all for naught, the kurgan’s laugh rings loud outside

[chorus]
there can be only one
but as long as i stand on holy ground
there shall be two, no winner be found
and never will —
unless god wills
