A last fire will rise behind those eyes
Black house will rock, blind boys don't lie
Immortal fear, that voice so clear
Through broken walls, that scream I hear

Cry, little sister - Thou shall not fall
Come, come to your brother - Thou shall not die
Unchain me, sister - Thou shall not fear
Love is with your brother - Thou shall not kill

Blue masquerade, strangers look on
When will they learn this loneliness?
Temptation heat beats like a drum
Deep in your veins, I will not lie

Little sister - Thou shall not fall
Come, come to your brother - Thou shall not fly
Unchain me, sister - Thou shall not fear
Love is with your brother - Thou shall not kill

My Shangri-Las
I can't forget
Why you were mine
I need you now

Cry, little sister - Thou shall not fall
Come, come to your brother - Thou shall not fly
Unchain me, sister - Thou shall not fear
Love is with your brother - Thou shall not kill

    My Interpretation

    Never saw the movie. To me, it's a song of encouragement. The brother is telling his sister these things because she is lost in depression, maybe coming off drugs.

    Cry, little sister - Thou shall not fall (Cry, but don't go back to drugs or kill yourself)

    Come, come to your brother - Thou shall not fly (Come to me, don't fly away on drugs or death)

    Unchain me, sister - Thou shall not fear (I am consumed with your misery, get well so I can rest. Don't fear getting well)

    Love is with your brother - Thou shall not kill (Be with me, I love you, don't kill yourself)

    The verses describe the darkness of the depression.
