My brother Esau killed a hunter
The year two thousand nine
And 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 my favor ended when
My brother failed at war
He staggered home and found me in the door
He won't reverse his birthright anyway
Ain't like that's worth all so much today
Still sometimes at night I dream
He's still a hairy man
Shadowboxing the apocalypse
And wandering the land
Shadowboxing the apocalypse
And wandering the land
Esau holds a blessing
Brother Esau hurls a curse
I would say that the blame was mine
But I suspected something worse
The more my brother looks like me
The less I understand
The silent war that bloodied both our hands
Sometimes at night I think I understand
We lay tonight in one field and understand
Brother to brother, and it's man to man
And it's face to face, hand to hand
Shadowboxing saw the poet end
Shadowboxing the apocalypse again
Shadowboxing the apocalypse creep within
Shadowboxing the apocalypse
And again, and again, and again
Shadowboxing the apocalypse within
Shadowboxing the apocalypse
Wandering the land
Shadowboxing the apocalypse
Wandering
Shadowboxing the apocalypse
Wandering the land
