"Color War"

You are red I am blue
To our causes we are true
We are kin but different clans
So brother we follow different plans

You have a knife I have a gun
We kill each other under this crazy sun
Was it you or was it I who started this clash
I have forgotten as I see the muzzle flash

Both our parents we have failed
You are dead and I am jailed
You are my brother that is true
But you are red and I am blue

You are hot and I am cool
We live our lives in this world of fools
We are kin but with different plans
We do the bidding of our chosen clans

I have my name to uphold
Even if I have to bring you down if I am told
Brother why did it happened
I wish now it never happened
