Brother Against Brother

Brothers until the end For every reason Getting together occasion after occasion The party did not start until they were both there Civil War separated them One was for the Confederacy The other was for the Union They came across each other on the battleground Both shooting their guns at others, Careful to save the one piece of humanity They had left, praying for the enemy that night In silence of course.
