My Brother Esau (Live at Providence Civic Center, Providence, RI - 3/31/86) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)
My brother Esau killed a hunter
Back in 1969
Before the killing was done
His inheritance was mine
But his birthright was a wand to wave
Before a weary band
Esau gave me sleeplessness
And a piece of moral land
My father favored Esau
Who was eager to obey
All the bloody wild commandments
The old man shot his way
But all this favor ended when
My brother failed at war
He staggered home
And found me in the door
Esau skates on mirrors anymore
He meets his pale reflection
In the door
Yet sometimes at night I dream
He's still that hairy man
Shadowboxing the apocalypse
And wandering the land
Shadowboxing the apocalypse
And wandering the land
Esau holds a blessing
Brother Esau holds a curse
I would say that the blame is mine
But I suspect it's something worse
The more my brother looks like me
The more I understand
The silent war that bloodied both our hands
Sometimes at night
I think I understand
Really the night
More feelin' understand
Brother to brother
Man to man
Face to face
And it's hand to hand
Find the wall
Never ends
Never a big ends
Shadowboxing the apocalypse
Within
Silent wall within
Shadowboxing the apocalypse
Yet again
Yet again
Shadowboxing the apocalypse
And wandering the land
Hey
Shadowboxing the apocalypse
And wandering the land
Shadowboxing the apocalypse
And wandering the land
