lyrics

Odysseus
Waves and waves of Trojan spears
Drive the Achaeans back to the ships
One by one we are forced to turn
it’s the end if we lose this ground

Muses
Consumed by bitterness and pain Achilles in his tent
Deaf to battlecries as ships are set ablaze
The mighty Myrmidons could go and turn the tide
If someone else would lead them to the fight

Muses
In Achilles’ bronze Patroclus leads the men

Patroclus
Push the Trojans back from whence they came!

Muses
The mighty Myrmidons,fight turning the tide,
Until Apollo’s strike makes them pay a price

Odysseus/ Athena
Time stops with Hector’s spear
withdrawing and staining the field,
Patroclus’ fall might just become
our chance, our time to crush them all

Achilles
Hector!, Hector!, Hector!, Hector!
