Prelude



I) hector storms the wall



See my chariot run to your ships I'll drive you back to the sea

You came her for gold the wall will not hold

This day was promised to me

The gods are my shield lightning and javelins fly

Soon many will fall we are storming the wall

Stones fall snow from the sky



We will pay with our glory in the fire of battle

Zeus today is mine

Killing all in my way like sheep and like cattle

Smashing skulls of all who defy

I spare not the hammer I spare not the sword

This day will ring with my name

None have to chase me let he who will face me

Kill me or die by the sword



Ii) the death of patroclus



Oh friend of minehow to say goodbye

This was your timebut the armor you wore was mine

I will not rest until hector's blood is spilled

His bones will all be broken dragged across the field

This dear friend is how we'll say goodbye

Until we meet in the sky



Iii) funeral march



Iv) armor of the gods



V) hector's final hour



Here inside the walls of troythe gods weigh my fate

From this bay do I abstainto a memory of hate

To pay for all the blood that spilled the many thousands I did kill

No walls can contain the gods' almighty will



I hear the silent voices I cannot hide

The gods leave no choices so we all must die

Oh achilles let thy arrows flyinto the windwhere eagles cross the sky

Today my mortal blood will mix with sand it was foretold

I will die by thy hand into hades my soul descend



Vi) death hector's reward



Cowards in the grip of fearno valor to uphold

Cut into the earthwith honor long been sold

For all shall come to know me as they fall unto their knees

Zeus the thunderercontrol my destiny



When the cards of life were bealt my hand a ruthless fate

To avengeand bringeth furyhector feel my hate

A bloodbath I was born to bringby birth I'm an assassin

To cut the cord of life and death ties to earth unfasten



Blood and fire death and hateyour body I will desecrate

Dogs and vultures eat your flesh the hall of hades waits

Kill...



Hector's blood lies on the battlefield his body's mangled wounds

The gods who once protected him are now his gods of doom

Like a tower standing tallsteadfast in direction

I fall upon you bringing deaththe gods give no protection



Coward in the grip of fearno valor to uphold

Cut into the earthwith honor long been sold

For all shall come to know meas they fall unto their knees

Zeus the thunderercontrol my destiny



Blood and fire death and hateyour body I will desecrate

Dogs and vultures eat your flesh the hall of hades waits

Die...



Vii) the desecration of hector's body



Viii) the glory of achilles



The oath of the godsthis day was fulfilled

In the heat of the battlehector was killed

See him patroclusdown in the dust

Rejoice in his death my symbol of trust



A dozen highborn youthshave been killed

Cutting their throats their blood was all spilled

Their bodies set at the foot of your fire

With oxensheep and two of your hounds



Your funeral pyre high off the ground

Hector's body dragged three times around

I will carry the torch to your funeral pyre

I will ask of the wind to send high your fire



Hector's blood will not be washed from my body

Until your body is burned

A prophecy spoken a promise fulfilled

More blood will be spilledmore will be killed.
