  • When the light goes out
    And you can't go on
    You'll miss your brothers
    But now they're gone, mmm
    When the light goes out
    We'll go our own way
    Nothing here but darkness
    No reason to stay

    Oh, once were brothers
    Brothers no more
    We lost our connection
    After the war
    There'll be no revival
    There'll be no one cold
    Once were brothers
    Brothers no more

    When that curtain comes down
    We'll let go of the past
    Tomorrow's another day
    Some things weren't meant to last
    When that curtain comes down
    On the final act
    And you know, you know deep inside
    There's no goin' back

    Once were brothers
    Brothers no more
    We lost our way
    After the war
    Can't even remember
    What we're fighting for
    When once were brothers
    Brothers no more

    We already had it out
    Between the north and south
    When we heard all the laughs
    Comin' out of your mouth
    But we stood together
    Like we were next of kin
    And when the band played dixie (dixie, dixie, dixie)
    They came marchin' in

    Once were brothers
    Brothers no more
    We lost our connection
    After the war
    There'll be no revival
    There'll be no encore
    Once were brothers
    Brothers no more Writer/s: Jaime Robertson
