Drinking a Familiar ale 

As I listen to a tale 

Of a friendship that was won and lost 

A long time ago 

And I just can't pretend 

That it doesn't hurt at all 

You'll never see the Day 

That I walk away 

I'll never turn my back on you 



No fear good friends 

Brothers till the end 

That's what we said so long ago 

No fear good friends 

Brothers till the end 

Means more to me than you will ever know 



Do you ever think back 

To the nights we swore it would last 

You turned your back you lost your way 

Forever that's what we said 

Those dreams we had some are coming true 

But I've done it all in spite of you 

Till the end that's what we said 

But where are you now 



No fear good friends 

Brothers till the end 

That's what we said so long ago 

No fear good friends 

Brothers till the end 

Means more to me than you will ever know



Call it fate call it what you like 

But you stole away like a thief in the night 

Once I called you my brother 

And I just can't forgive 

I blame you for the damage done 

I never thought you'd turn and run 

As though you never knew me 

And you never will again
