Re: Anyone care to share a particularly profound line in a song?

five brothers sitting in front of the fire
waiting for one of the weak to retire
an old crocheted pillow held over a face
one brother disappears without a trace

four brothers sitting all neat in a row
listening to their favorite radio show
one eats some fruit from the family tree
at next morning's breakfast
there only are three

the brothers grim

the youngest takes out his insulin
there's no need to notify the next of kin
cain slew abel as brothers will do
three brothers magically turn into two

accidents happen so often at home
look at the forest of homemade headstones
but if a tree falls and it's all alone
is there a reason for one to atone

the brothers grim

mama died and left her boys all alone
to fight for the seat to the empty throne
an old bramble crown a seal of scrawl
a kingdom consisting of nothing at all

at six o'clock rings the dinner bell
be it ever so humble there's no place like hell
blood is much thicker than water you know
that's why it pours so awfully slow

the brothers grim
