There once was a kingdom of gods Far into the world beyond our deeds Two sons to the king, who ruled in truth Two sons, two kings, yet none to rule The kingdom awaited its king of new While the eldest frolicked in pleasure The youngest brooded in thoughts of court Both as distant as the moon was to sun Despite the king's commands to ascend his right The crown prince dared to descend to depths He fell in love with a maiden down there Drawn to her withering life from far He followed her as the breeze in her hair Moving mountains to pave her way The gods above saw the golden chance To rid the throne of the prince forever They fed the king with lies and truths Making him command the second prince in haste "Bring back the mortal’s head tied to your brother’s wrist. Soon, the crown awaits the rightful heir." He left to carry out his father's word Yet he too fell in love before soon The girl he thought he were to end Became the one he would end himself for A mistake so divine that he considered blessed The brothers lived days of peace With their lovers, but it was a quick breath Soon kings and gods descended upon their joy Giving the ultimate test of love One was asked to give up his dreams To ascend the throne and rule in pain The younger prince bowed his head to it He wore the crown though it made him bleed He erased his traces from his lover’s mind And became the silent god in her life The older one, on the other hand, gave up his life Of power and divinity and immortal truth He became the lover and not the god Mortal and weak beside his love Both brothers gave up their lives— One for love, and the other for life
Just to clarify the second prince fell in love with another girl, who is mistook to be his brother's lover.
