Brothers of Crystal and Fury

From the same womb, liquid, eternal
Water, ice, brothers, trapped in the cycle

Born in the molecular dance, without choice
I run free, I escape through the fingers of time
You stand firm, crystal with six sharp faces
I murmur in the hot rivers of the burning summer
You groan under the weight of the unforgiving frost
But we carry the same secret in our blood
A breath of heat, and I turn to smoke of pain
A whisper of cold, and you pull me back to your chest

Brother imprisoned, I envy you sometimes
For your iron patience under the ice
For the way you endure the world without breaking
I envy you, and I hate you for it

Eternal brothers, water and ice
One body that sheds its skin to survive
I run through the mountains in blood and freedom
You freeze the world in a painful silence
But when the Sun dies, I begin to stop
And when spring slowly tears you apart
You return to me, in drops of anger and regret
Water that was ice, ice that will be water
Brothers who never forgive each other, nor forget each other

You envy my fury without chains, perhaps
Flowing in cascades that no one controls
I envy your broken throne of pure crystal
Supporting the weight of the fallen gods
Spring you it melts slowly, cruelly
You return to me, drop by drop of fury
Winter holds me in your icy arms
I become your cell, and your only redemption

At the bottom of the frozen lake
In the drop that runs down your forehead as it thaws
We devour each other, without ever saying goodbye

Eternal brothers, water and ice
One heart that beats in eternal war
I hate you, I love you, I kill you slowly
You freeze me, you free me, you burn me alive
Water that was ice, ice that will be water
Brothers who say goodbye in the wounded spring
And meet again in the quiet hell of winter

Just one breath
And I turn into vapor of regret
Just a low cry
And you swallow me back into the abyss
Crystal, liquid
Blood, ice
We are one
And we are nothing, without each other

Eternal brothers, water and ice
One body that changes clothes so as not to die
In the frozen lake, in the burning rain
We are always embracing
With cold claws, with hot blades
With fury that never ends
Brother

Without ever needing to say
Brother
Water, ice, water, ice
