Wayward Brothers

[Intro: Soft, melancholic acoustic guitar, slow tempo]
(Two boys lost in the fire...)
(Two men forged in the dark.)

[Verse 1: Clean electric guitar picking, emotional vocals]
Born into a war we didn’t start,
A yellow-eyed shadow tore our home apart.
Daddy gave us guns instead of a ball,
Taught us how to shoot, taught us how to fall.
From the motel beds to the cold dirt roads,
Carrying the heaviest of human loads.

[Pre-Chorus: Drums kick in, bassline starts grooving]
One’s got a demon in his blood,
The other’s pulling him out of the mud.
Heaven wants us dead, Hell wants a deal,
But the only thing we trust is the Detroit steel.

[Chorus: Distorted guitars, heavy cymbals, powerful anthemic vocals]
Wayward brothers, riding out the storm,
Keeping each other safe and warm!
Through the fire, through the brimstone and the pain,
Washing off the blood in the midnight rain.
We don’t need wings to learn how to fly,
Wayward brothers, riding till we die!

[Verse 2: Driving rock tempo, punchy bass, gritty vocals]
You went to Stanford, tried to walk away,
But the family business always makes you pay.
I took the Mark, I wore the chains,
But water is thicker when it's in our veins.
We’ve been to the pit, we’ve broken the cage,
Writing our own story, turning the page.

[Pre-Chorus: Drums kick in, bassline starts grooving]
