War Between Brothers

This one's a nobleman, this one's a squire

One man will sing in the heavenly choir

One will descend into hell's licking fire

But to tell which is which would take better than I

This one's a father, and this one's a son

One man was right and the other was wrong

But both of them died in the maddening throng

Carry them home, boys, to where they belong

War between brothers

Sire fighting son

Only division where once there was one

War between brothers

Son fighting sire

Kin laid with kin in the funeral pyre

These two were blinded by jealousy's flame

One pointing fingers the other to blame

One lived in rage and the other in shame

But which was the better of what they became?

War between brothers

Sire fighting son

Only division where once there was one

War between brothers

Son fighting sire

Kin laid with kin in the funeral pyre

This one's a bastard, and this one's a king

Both fought for power and what it would bring

But fighting each other they lost everything
