I am pretty sure that he says "Today I SOLD my brother," and not "Today I SAW my brother". But, I'm not entirely sure.
I think that what you get out of these lyrics is something The Rev could only give you. I believe he is singing about him helping his brother, maybe his metaphorical brother, more along the lines of one of his best friends, overdose, or simply commit suicide. I do not think that The Rev had anything to do with this, but as many Avenged Sevenfold fans know, A7X's old bassist had a failed suicide attempt from drug overdose. Perhaps he is talking about his brother, his friend, his old band-mate? Doubt that I am right, but it seems like it would be a possibility.
I think that is only a part of the song's meaning, if a part at all, if the song even HAS a meaning to it, other than confuse the listener. If I am right in stating this, the rest of the lyrics are to be interpreted differently from listener to listener. I think The Rev wrote half the song about one person, and the other half on another. I'm not entirely sure on any of this - but I hope you will read this and actually READ it.
