Same streets. Different sound. Still hear your voices When there's no one around. Used to fill the room before we hit the door Now my footsteps leave too much space on the floor Catch myself turning with a joke half-made Got nobody there, so I swallow what I'd say Black cloth wrapped where the colors used to ride Three sets of lessons that I carry inside Two blades, two sai, one staff, one chain Learning how to hold what I couldn't save Your seat stays empty, your words stay close Some nights I need you more than most You taught us patience, taught us when to move Now I face the dark with everything you knew I'm the last brother But I don't walk alone I carry all your voices Everywhere I go I'm the last brother Still got work to do Long as I keep moving I'll be carrying you Rain hits the roof and the bass rolls low I know every shortcut we took long ago Pass that corner where we laughed till dawn Stay there a minute, then I move on I used to rush in just to hear you shout Now I check the exits and I count them out Plant both feet, let the anger pass Can't spend your memory on a fight that won't last There are people down below who need a way back home I can hear them through the walls, I can hear I'm not alone So I tighten every strap, take the stairs into the rain Do the work we would've done if you were here again I'm the last brother But I don't walk alone I carry all your voices Everywhere I go I'm the last brother Still got work to do Long as I keep moving I'll be carrying you I hear your patience when I want to lose control Hear your temper when the street turns cold Hear you finding something everyone else missed Hear you telling me to laugh in the middle of this I don't have to lose the part that made you smile I can set the weapons down and breathe a little while Then the city calls, and I know what I must do Get back on my feet Bring the best of you Four at the table One at the door Still set the places Like I did before Dawn through the window Hands on the steel Some days I'm ready Some days I just will I'm the last brother But I don't walk alone I carry all your voices Everywhere I go I'm the last brother Still got work to do Long as I keep moving I'll be carrying you I'm the last brother Hear that heartbeat knock Still here standing When the daylight drops Your names stay with me Your lessons get me through Every life I stand for Carries something left of you For my brothers. For my father. I'll keep your memory alive. I'll keep fighting. COWABUNGA
