Heir Apparent

Immortal sister's crooked smile
She dared the devil as a child
She saw the wonder in the wild
Duty could never keep her idle

Foolish brother followed after
The night she fell from the rafters
We wandered lost in the backwoods
The summer sun never passed her

Moral sister, I won't try
To set aside another lie
Well I'll be damned to survive if you don't

Amoral sister's furrowed brow
When dusk pulled on its reaper's cowl
Her golden tongue made death a vow
As if seed could sow the plow

Forgotten brother catches ill
The reaper's hand a ghostly chill
I dream of work beyond the sill
Maybe a footnote in the will

Mortal sister, why'd you go
I made my peace there long ago
Again you ran and beat me to the snow
