Two Brothers
Two brothers lived in a small town
In a country hard at war
Though for a long time their father had been gone
He was an alchemist, and they wanted to know more
Human kind cannot gain anything
Without first giving something in return
The dead cannot return to the living
And we still have much to learn
A few years later, their mother died
And the boys were filled with dread
Then one said, as the other cried
"Let bring her back from the dead!"
Human kind cannot gain anything
Without first giving something in return
The dead cannot return to the living
And we still have much to learn
So the brothers tried to bring back their mom
They thought they knew the price
But they underestimated alchemy's great law
And failed, making too great a sacrifice
Human kind cannot gain anything
Without first giving something in return
The dead cannot return to the living
And we still have much to learn
Alchemy can turn lead to gold
Or at least, that's what is said
But for the price of what is sold
Your better off with the lead
