Lyric discussion by noiamnotwhereibelong 

It's actually just "Godless Brother".

Instead of "Godless brother As far as I can tell And I won't compensate the blight"

it's: "Godless brother As far as I can tell The night won't compensate the blind"

I think it's about a mother who's lost control of her children, or they've grown up and she can't protect them anymore.

The night won't compensate the blind... I love love love that line. Beautiful, as always.

I definitely agree with you there. It's 'the night won't compensate the blind', and it's better off for it too. It truly is a beautiful lyric, and as always Sam has thoroughly impressed me with this song.

So far, I'm absolutely loving his new album.
