Brother vs. Brother

in #dsound6 years ago (edited)


A song I wrote about the sorrow of war.

Brother -vs.- Brother

The countrymen say she once stood high
Brother vs. brother and they don’t know why
The preacher man told us someday is now
Winners or losers they all stood proud
Shallow graves dug and crosses made of wood
Mothers cry for babies who never understood
Now ashes and dust in a pine box lost
Everyone was right but no one new the cost

Battle lines were drawn
Brother vs. brother
Everyone falls because they tried
The blue and the gray
Brother vs. brother
War’s not civil when everyone dies

Brother vs. brother with old glory hung high
Rebels called outlaws and brothers now die
Good men where gray or maybe they were blue
Does it all matter though time holds true

A rifle shot fires and blood now shed
Run for your life while you still can

Battle lines were drawn
Brother vs. brother
Everyone falls because they tried
The blue and the gray
Brother vs. brother
War’s not civil when everyone dies

Solo

Battle lines were drawn
Brother vs. brother
Everyone falls because they tried
The blue and the gray
Brother vs. brother
War’s not civil when everyone dies
Brother vs. brother
