lyrics

Sing, O’ Goddess! the song of the Achaeans,
Of the time when they sailed in a thousand black ships
For an oath, and control of the Aegean

Sing the song of clashing swords
And of the heroes of bronze
That shook the core of Olympus

And may the song of Troy resound throughout the ages
As written, in blood and metal

Muses
In Black ships they cross the Aegean Sea
A thousand sails blow, hasting with might
For Jove above the Olympians shouts
he brings the wind and enlightens the path

Achaeans
To the shores of Ilium
For glory and pride
The Achaeans unite
To the halls of Ilium
The sons of Troy
Get ready to host the fight

Agamemnon/ Diomedes
Stand up and fight!
(Stand up and fight!)

Achilles
Show them our might!
Oh! Mother watch us from the depths of Oceanus
As Myrmidon swords send the Trojans to Charon
And if my glory is truly bounded to my doom
Let it sound eternally!

Odysseus
Alas!
All Mighty Gods in Olympus
Will this city really ever fall?
The highest walls rise over the shore
The price of Helen shall be paid in our blood

Diomedes
(Our blood)

Odysseus
For if thy sons are truly worth that woman's cause
Then Athena guide our swords!

Agamemnon
Prepare to land my Achaeans!
The time to fight has come at last
My own blood I‘ve sacrificed
For Gold and glory and Trojan demise

Muses
In Black sails they crossed the Aegean sea
A thousand ships are landing with might
For Jove above the Achaeans sees

Achaeans
The blades, the shields and enlightens the hearts
At the shores of Ilium
Heroes of old
Shall offer their blood
At the sands of Ilium
Below the Ida so many fight and die

Achilles
Myrmidons it's time
Push forward now!
Leave the ships behind
And claim the glory
That is your birthright
Draw thy spears up high
Hold the line!
Fight my men to the death, now!

Achaeans
At the walls of Ilium
Heroes of old
Shall offer their blood
As the sands of Ilium
Are coloured crimson with men and gods.
