Lyrics
TWINS OF WAR
(Music and Lyrics by John Tracy Wilson)
They were young, twin brothers together
But they were flung into opposite worlds to dwell on distant shores
One to a home with his mother alone
In the land of liberty
And one to become an adopted son
In a land filled with hostility
As they grew, each developed conviction
They were true, each devoted to the cause for which he stood
How could they know what the future would hold
Could it have been different, who?s to say
Was it just by chance, was it circumstance
It began that fateful day
The bombs flying, children crying
Twin brothers divided by the sword
Now they can?t change it
Nor rearrange it
They were destined to be?Twins of War
Then came the time, at last reunited
Such a crime, not out of love, their duty was first in line
The saga had come full circle
Young friends to seasoned foes
Now they must go on and live with their secret
Why it happened no one knows
The bombs flying, children crying
Twin brothers divided by the sword
Now they can?t change it
Nor rearrange it
They were destined to be?Twins of War
Now they can?t change it
Nor rearrange it
They were destined to be?Twins of War
