I tried to figure out the lyrics for "Brothers in Arms". I took some "inspiration" from Captain_Jovi on the previous page.

Brothers in Arms

Ever since I was a young boy,
Before I even know who I am
My father said you gotta walk, before you can crawl,
So you can run as soon as you can stand,
So you can run as soon as you can

Now, if every breathin' day is a lesson
I'll be writing this, before I could read
Where mamma said:
Son, don't let this hard world do what it's doin' to me
Don't let him do, what he's done to me

It's a hard rain, that's gonna fall on the city
It's still a hard rain, that's gonna fall on my farm,

There's no seventh day in a world without pity,
There's no ball and chain, but the chain didn't come
Where's my better days?
Where's my Jesus saves?
Where's someone to say,
We gotta hang on, we're brothers in arms

Down in Southern Alabama
It's yes or no ma'am thank you and please,
but don't you step out of line
Don't re-write or define
What it means to see a man take a knee
Okay, oh say, can't you see?

It's a hard rain, that's gonna fall on the city
It's still a hard rain, that's gonna fall on my farm,


There's no seventh day in a world without pity,
There's no ball and chain, but the chain didn't come
Where's my better days?
Where's my Jesus saves?
Where's someone to say,
We gotta hang on, we're brothers in arms
We're brothers in arms

It's a hard rain, that's gonna fall on the city
It's still a hard rain, that's gonna fall on my farm,
It's a hard rain, that's gonna fall on the city
It's still a hard rain, don't give a damn who you are,

There's no seventh day in a world without pity,
There's no ball and chain, but the chain didn't come
Where's my better days?
Where's my Jesus saves?
Where's someone to say,
We gotta hang on, we're brothers in arms
We're brothers in arms

And somewhere there's a church bell, that's singing (??) in the choir,

Summoning the choir isn't it?

Ah! That fits. Thanks.

I really want to know what the Satan line is in Blood in the Water. I just can't get it.

Blood in the Water

A storm is coming, let me be clear,
Your days are numbered, the end is near,
The walls around you are closing in,
It's too late for praying, sinner needs sin,

Once a I came across your border, now they come to take me back,
I sleep with one eye open, I don't make waves I don't leave tracks,
For my daughter and my three sons it's the only life they've known,
To me it's my asylum, these stars and stripes my home,

Blood in the water, who's jumping in?
The Devil's made his final offer now the sharks are circlin' in,
Blood in the water, our fates are sealed,
The Devil's greatest trick was just to say he wasn't real,
Satan always used to love to say he wasn't real,

Lies are in the forecast, and the truth left with the tide,
I hear your shadow sold your secrets, and he's gonna do some time,
You see the news fits like a neck tie sir, you're gonna fit right in,
With some old familiar faces, sinner meet sin,

Blood in the water, who's jumping in?
The Devil's made his final offer now the sharks are circlin' in,
Blood in the water, our fates are sealed,
The Devil's greatest trick was just to say he wasn't real,
Satan always used to love to say he wasn't real,

I'm a cable news reporter, they got nothing new to say,
I'm the voice of the new order, the star of anarchy today,
I'm the comments you keep reading at the bottom of the page,
I'm real power, I'm a patriot, I'm a Russian hack by trade,
A Russian hack by trade,

Blood in the water, who's jumping in?
The Devil's made his final offer now the sharks are circling,
Blood in the water, our fates are sealed,
The Devil's greatest trick was just to say he wasn't real,

Blood in the water,
Blood in the water,
Now there's blood in the water,
Blood in the water,



Thanks to Savvi for doing most of the work on this!

Wherever there is hurting, there's healing on the way,

I think that'll work, the other one was already done by James

Someone with political/english understanding better than mine can explain to me like I'm 5 what Jon means by "Russian hack by trade"? You can send me a PM so it don't stirs the annoying political debate, your call.

Just trying to avoid a political discussion.

It is believed that the Russians helped elect Donald Trump by interfering, or hacking, our election.

That verse is Jon writing from the viewpoint of one of those Russian hackers.

Hope this helps.
