I felt like this was a pretty good effort at something that would work for an epic song, so I'm posting it. It's titled "Blood Brothers."
Brothers in blood and in hatred
Warriors raised in lives so savage
Empty throne awaits them now
As each one claims a rite of passage
They learned the ways of the father
How to fight and how to conquer
But the knowledge ingrained so deep
Took their king's life in his sleep
Blood brothers stand, eye to eye
Chained in fate that one shall die
Sharing stone blind ignorance
Earth to burn by their defiance
A growing mutual disdain
Lust and greed fill their hearts
A detriment to the innocents
Forced to obey and play their parts
The slaves below sing their sorrows
But the sons will heed no cries
They do not hear the elder's pleas
Nor any man down on his knees
Blood brothers stand, eye to eye
Chained in fate that one shall die
Sharing stone blind ignorance
Earth to burn by their defiance
A price to pay in bloody haste
While Mother's beauty is laid to waste
In favor of a mortal man
Who sees himself above the clan
Sibling rivalry breeds warfare
Brothers' thirst knows no bounds
Cries of anguish, the loss of life
Strewn across this hallowed ground
No resolution is close at hand
A shadow falls on the fate of man
The elder mourns death he foresaw
Of land and creature, one and all
Blood brothers stand, eye to eye
Chained in fate that one shall die
Sharing stone blind ignorance
Earth to burn by their defiance
