 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 mine, how to say goodbye
   This was your time, but the armor you
   wore was mine, I will not rest until
   Hector's blood is spilles
   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 Troy, the gods weigh my 
   Fate from this bay do I abstain, to 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 fly,
   Into the wind, where 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 fear, no valor to uphold
   Cut into the earth, with honor long been sold
   For all shall come to know me
   As they fall unto their knees
   Zeus the Thunderer, control my destiny

   When the cards of life were bealt
   My hand a ruthless fate
   To avenge, and bringeth fury, Hector feel my hate
   A bloodbath I was born to bring, by birth I'm
   an assassin
   To cut thr cord of life and death
   Ties to earth unfasten

   Blood and fire death and hate, your 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 tall, steadfast in direction
   I fall upon you bringing death, the gods give
   no protection
   Coward in the grip of fear, no valor to uphold
   Cut into the earth, with honor long been sold
   For all shall come to know me, as they fall
   unto their
   Knees Zeus the Thunderer, control my destiny

   Blood nd fire death and hate, your body I
   will desecrate
   Dogs and vultures eat your flesh the hall of
   Hades waits
   Die die die die...

 vii) THE DESECRATION OF HECTOR'S BODY

   PART 1
   PART 2

 viii) THE GLORY OF ACHILLES

   The oath of the gods, this day was fulfilled
   In the heat of the battle, Hector was killed
   See him Patroclus, down in the dust
   Rejoice in his death my symbol of trust
   A dozen highborn youths, have been killed
   Cutting their throats their blood was all spilled
   Their bodies set at the foot of your fire
   With oxen, sheep 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 spilled, more will be killed.
