lyrics

Maybe he is my brother; he’s a brother that I know.
But if things not getting better, my jealousy will grow.
We’re building both an altar, an altar made of stone
I think we bring a sacrifice, mine will rise to throne.

Though he’ll be burning livestock and I’ll just give some grain
Honest, what’s the purpose, man, to throw your best in drain?
Brother’s altar offering God gladly did accept
Brother said it’s sin in life that He would mine reject.

How dare you little brother to me say that I’m wrong.
There’s justice in these hands, boy. You know these fists are strong.
Before I knew, the rage in me killed dear brother dead.
When asked by God where brother was this is what I said.

I killed a man:
my brother’s dead.
I killed a man!
That’s what I said.

Maybe he’s my brother; he’s a brother that I know.
But if things not getting better, my jealousy will grow.
Before I knew, the rage in me killed dear brother dead.
When asked by God where brother was this is what I said.

I killed a man:
my brother’s dead.
I killed a man!
That’s what I said
