Song Description

A heartbreaking yet beautiful story of two sons within a family fighting.

Lyrics

Battle of the Sons

As brothers years ago we were the best of friends
But now things are so different - bitter seeds have grown within
Now brother against brother - what's done can't be erased
The blame has been assigned - the guilt is all in place

Holidays we're together but it's just for mom and dad
It's now an empty shell of the bond that we once had
Hateful glances at the table as dad says grace
Silence fills the room with this family disgrace

All our parents wanted was for us to live in harmony
Look what we've created - just look what we have done
Our mother's final hope, our father's lifelong dream
Shattered by the battle of the sons

Like a vine ensnares the forest, it captures those nearby
And separates our children who are trapped in this fight
Is our past a distant memory that disappeared without a trace?
Empty victories took what may never be replaced

All our parents wanted was for us to live in harmony
Look what we've created - just look what we have done
Our mother's final hope, our father's lifelong dream
Shattered by the battle of the sons

You don't bear all the blame - there is guilt to spread around
So let's try to find our way before it drags us both down

All our parents wanted was for us to live in harmony
Look what we've created - just look what we have done
Our mother's final hope, our father's lifelong dream
Shattered by the battle of the sons
The battle of the sons
The battle of the sons
The battle of the sons
