From time gone by and years to come
You’ve been a friend my confidant
The world descending made us glum
And yet we stood against their taunt

We faced our fears until we won
In this respect ‘tis fair to vaunt
But even when all’s said and done
The darkness finds a way to haunt

Through wearing trials that made us strong
We were each other’s symbiont
To grow together and belong
​This brotherhood is all I want

I never thought I'd hear
The words of hate and fear
You may as well have used a knife

It still is so unclear
The pain I had to bear
To let nothing be done through strife

I never thought I'd see
The hurt you did to me
You paint my agony in life

I'm sad you cannot be
The love and empathy
This world in cruelty is rife
