Achilles

Friend your life grows short
With every breath that you take
Your heart is a ticking clock
Brings you closer to your fate
What I want is not important to the gods
Days I sit and wait
The nights I lie awake

Promise that you won't stop singing songs to me
Achilles
And promise that you'll keep on fighting you're so strong for me
Achilles
Promise that you'll keep on coming home to me
Achilles
Walking through the door covered in honesty

Waiting here for you at the edge of the shore
I've never liked you less never wanted you more
Telling me it's all in the name of the war
What you were born to do
I was born for you

Love stronger than you stronger even than your pride
Put your armour on and bravely send me out to die
What I want is not important to the gods
My death was not in vain
And yet you hold me close all night

Promise that you won't stop singing songs to me
Achilles
Promise that you'll keep on fighting you're so strong for me
Achilles
Promise that you'll keep on coming home to me
Achilles
Walking through the door covered in honesty

Waiting here for you at the edge of the shore
I've never liked you less never wanted you more
Telling me it's all in the name of the war
What you were born to do
I was born for you

I wander helpless I am only thought and air
I wonder where you are are you waiting for me there
And I've been asking everyone but no one seems to care
I long to hear your voice see the color of your hair

Promise that you won't stop singing songs to me
And promise that you'll keep on fighting you're so strong for me
Promise that you'll keep on coming home to me
Walking through the door covered in honesty

Waiting here for you at the edge of the shore
I've never liked you less never wanted you more
Telling me it's all in the name of the war
What you were born to do
I was born for you
Waiting here for you at the edge of the shore
I've never liked you less never wanted you more
Telling me it's all in the name of the war
What you were born to do
I was born for you
Waiting here for you at the edge of the shore
Telling me it's all in the name of the war
