Brother...Honor my Friendship
Brother...Honor my friendship
Break not my trust as did
Judas for the sake of greed
Do not kiss me and
Nail my heart to the tree
True friendship is rare, and
Found where there is blood and struggle
Its truth lives where life ends
Where death may take hold
My brother may death not find
You alone for your sake
May your friendship be a joy
And a prize for those who partake
Honor the friendship of a brother
In trust to the end
In fire forge the bond of truest
Friend or burn there within
May God my brother grant you love.
Even and especially if the price be paid with blood....
Veritas
