    Still needs to be edited but this is a new song I'm working on for a mixtape I'll be releasing soon. Can you guys guess what the lyrics are actually about?

    A Tale of Four Brothers (Demo Lyrics)

    V1:
    Heres a little tale about four young brothers
    Constantly needled and bound to each other
    Bonds never made of blood but of loyalty and honor
    Seemed so tight like they'd never go and falter
    The first two, everything you wanna be
    Rich and desired, smart and care free
    The other two plagued with self destructive traits
    One cursed with an inner beast and hate
    The other demons floating in his heart
    Looks up to the first two but knows he's apart
    They are a coward, a beast, and two jokers
    living through dark times training to be soldiers
    They grow and they learn from each others feats
    Their brotherhood cemented by acceptance of the beast
    Three of the four, forever united
    The fourth gave in to his fear he never could fight it

    Chorus:
    Look at what you did out of cowardice and greed
    Was it worth it did you get what you hoped you would
    acheive?
    Do you live a better life? Is it easier to breathe?
    Tell me can you still hear the echo's of my screams?

    V2:
    Joker number one settles and marries
    Wifes red beauty shines with the baby she carries
    They living a fantasy but soon they'll be dead
    Lightning strikes assisted by his cowardly friend
    Only Joker two knows the whole truth
    But gives in to his grief and what does he do?
    He hunts down the rat that was once his brother
    The war coming to a pause but he's trapped in another
    He fails and is blamed for mistakes the rat made
    Locked away he feels cold as he's going insane
    The beast left alone the rats gone away
    Grieving he's alone his brothers gone astray
    His life is nothing but an unhealing wound
    He wishes he never left his old mothers womb
    But slowly but surely the truth bleeds out
    Only to cause the end of the half lives they live now

    Chorus

    V3:
    One dead, one jailed, one hiding, one alone
    For over a decade this is all the last three have known
    The second joker returns for his hunt once more
    The beast learns the truth and joins the hunt with a roar
    Four became two, and two hunt for one
    But the joker can't hold onto life his soul undone
    So the beast and the rat are the last of this legacy
    They both reminisce of their childhood ecstasy
    They are back in a war but on opposite sides
    They understand that in life everyone dies
    The son of joker one lives on with them both
    And he watches as finally the rat starts to choke
    The hand attached to the rat closes around his own throat
    And the beast he's the last but he has no hope
    Cuz a war has casualties and he joins the number
    The soldiers are gone now forever in slumber

    Chorus
