Brothers in Soul
.
Please do not fight me, dear brother of mine
Our father's body is still warm.
Your hatred is great, immortal through fate
Our conflict will stir up a storm.
.
The balance our father sought just was not there
So he did what he thought was best.
As he lay in bed, the Moon overhead
He gave us one last crucial test.
.
One test to determine who would be his heir
To protect the world by his oath.
That was a mistake, it makes my heart ache
For he should have trusted us both.
.
We are two halves of a better future
Our answers were never complete.
Love must be a part, of a leader's heart
Yet power he must also keep.
.
But that one decision had wounded you deep
You would not let anyone near.
From your tired sighs, to your ice cold eyes
You abandoned what you held dear.
.
Not days after father's death you just snapped
Unleashed all that bottled-up rage.
You struck out at me, unrestrainedly
And so fought the sons of the Sage
.
In the end I could not hold myself back
I dealt you one last fatal blow.
Your children could not, find it in their heart
To let all of their hatred go.
.
For they loved you deeply, dear brother of mine
Your loss brought them anger and pain.
Thus started a war, they solemnly swore
To witness my line die in vain.
.
And so began an era of warring clans
The very thing father had fought.
Now children must die, for shinobi pride
The peace we worked for is for naught.
.
I follow your soul through death and beyond
Hoping to somehow make amends.
With each new body, I try to make you see
That there's still a way to be friends.
.
No matter how we end up being born
We'll always be brothers in soul.
That's one bond that hate, simply will not break
Eventually we'll be whole.
.
Some day in the distant future you'll see
That you don't have to be alone.
You'll always have me, I'll help set you free
So you can finally come home.
