The Chinese Trilogy

So, there was this song, "Brother My Brother" by Blessed Union of Souls, which just sort of struck a cord in me. It struck such a cord, that I wanted to write a fic inspired by it. Unfortunately, I couldn't think of anybody for whom these lyrics would be particularly appropriate. So, anyway, I had this other fic, a Keith/Lotor, in the works and, in a fit of insanity, I made Keith and Lotor brothers. And whaddaya know, it actually worked. Can't say that Lotor was particularly happy, though, since was actually supposed to be slashed with Keith, not be his brother. Anyway, here's the trilogy. Scroll down to read the lyrics if you like.

The Lyrics

Brother my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
We've got to end this war
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
We can try
Brother my brother

We face each other from different sides
The anger burns can't remember why
It's kindof crazy to cause so much pain
Our foolish pride makes us hate this way

We watch our world fall apart
Tell me what good is winning
When you lose your heart

Brother my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother

Yes
We can try
Brother my brother
Yes

Let's take a moment and look deep inside
And say we'll learn to give love a try
When matters differ as we seem to be
There's so much more to me than what you see
You don't have to be this way
Think about the consequences
Turn around and walk away

Brother my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother

Brother my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother
