The Fall of Troy

It's come to a point of no return
The enemy deep within its walls
Unbreachable, they will never fall
(Walls will never fall)
O Goddess, have you led us all to die
At the gates of Troy

So many years have gone
Blood spilled and endless death below
What's the result? There must be another form
To cross the walls
And shape your entrance to Troy

Lay the beams along the sand of Troy
Bring the axe and rope and tie it all
Bend the beams across and give them form
Let the Horse be born!

Lay the beams along the sand of Troy
Bring the axe and rope and tie it all
Bend the beams across and give them form
Let the Horse be born!

This war demands another way to fight
A gift for Pallas opens up a path
Concealed within the cover of the night
Our men shall open Troy

Deceit and trickery is the course of man
Whose courage faded and left a void unmatched
The blood of heroes has dried upon this land
The Age of Bronze is gone!

Now is the time, for courage and strength
Now is the time to bring it to an end
Now may the Gods lead in our way
It's time to take it all!

Gone to reach home, they've left this offering
For safe return, an image to appease
The wrath of Pallas and the pardon of the sea
The Sign of Troy, this Horse

My warriors there only is one path
If we are going to survive the night
Remain in silence in the cover of darkness
We shall open the passage to the city and the palace
The key is to use this horse

Lay the beams along the sand of Troy
Bring the axe and rope and tie it all
Bend the beams across and give them form
Let the Horse be born!

Lay the beams along the sand of Troy
Bring the axe and rope and tie it all
Bend the beams across and give them form
Let the Horse be born!
Let the Horse be born!
Let the Horse be born!

You fools, how can you be so blind?
Bringing calamity disguised tonight
Consenting madness
You summoned darkness, slaughter and death by the heartless
Set fire to the Argives hiding within the horse!

Could the end of a world be justified?
(It's not justified)
As I gaze at the slaughter before my eyes
(The curse of sight)
As the ripples of fate flow back and forth
(As the waves flow)
Through the fabric of time, and mind and soul
(Apollo's sight)
As I gaze at this fate, my burning home
(Without a chance to avoid)
No chance at all

Cross the wall my Achaeans!
Press your shields
Never turn back!
Between our lines the Olympians lie
Slash and slice
And sing Troy's demise
At the walls of Ilium
For glory and pride
My Achaeans advance

In the halls of Ilium
Keep pushing men
The Trojans will die tonight

Will die tonight!

At the end of this war I think of home
(So few return)
As the gold is prepared to pay Charon
(Is Hades home)
Just as we realise the price of Troy
(was much higher than blood)
Just like seasons renew but take a toll
(On the land and the creatures that roam the world)
So the Iron replaces the Age of Bronze
(But its heroes will live)
Within the Song of Troy
