My world was a mixture of lies and half-truths

It hurt me to know that I was never told the truth

You, my own big brother, thought it better to lie

Keeping the truth from me till the moment you died

You sought to protect me from the deceit of our kin

The dark, twisted secret that our clan had hidden within

But, why? Why did you keep the truth from me, locked away?

Why did you threw the key and locked your mouth from say?

Why, brother? Why?

Why did you not tell me that my hatred for you was nothing but false?

Why did you turn my love for you to my dark wish for your death?

Why…why…didn't you tell me before I found out myself?!

Why didn't you tell me all the pain you suffered shedding their blood?!

Why didn't you tell me the real reason you spared me, and severed out bond?!

Why did you encourage and feed my hatred for you?!

You know I love you above all else, brother! You know that I care for you…

So please tell me, why did you never tell?

Why did you let me kill you? Why didn't you stop me? Why?

Brother, answer me, WHY?!

You should have killed me along with mother and father!

Not bestowed on me the pain that you have left me in, at you wake!

I want it too end…I want to end so much…the pain.

I thought that when I killed you, I might have relief.

And finally be at peace, and cleared our clan's name and beliefs

But, the secret of your past has reached my ears

And now I suffer a pain worse than before, because

Brother, I killed you…I…killed…you…I…k-killed…y-you…

And for that, I'm so sorry…I'm s-so s-sorry…

Please forgive me…please…brother forgive me.
