Ouroboros - Panacea lyrics

We grew as one through infancy, Inseparable through maturity. Now faced with the threat of annihilation Ideals make way for war time operations. Strobe-light shrapnel tear tissue asunder. My shocked eyes gaze refusing to see. A blood-stained path to my brother reveals His unhealable open wounds frailty. Inconceivable pain, Irrevocable affliction. Powerless am I To make you whole once again. (Panacea!) Powerless am I (Panacea!) To make you whole once again. Petrifying empathy Takes complete control of me. He's involuntarily tethered To these last moments of pain. It may be his last desire To be bathed in friendly fire. A terminal reaction To a hopeless situation. "Brother... Please... Send me on my way." "Brother... Please... Release me from this pain." It seems that even gods on high Refuse to let my brother die. This responsibility now thrust on me, Any burden I'll bear shall become secondary. A fratricide you're empowering To end all your suffering.
