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

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
