歌詞

(Prelude) I/ HECTOR STORMS THE WALL (0:58) 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 (3:42) 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 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 (4:55) (Instrumental Part) IV/ ARMOR OF THE GODS (7:45) (Instrumental Part) V/ HECTOR'S FINAL HOUR (12:45) 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 (16:05) 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 the 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 and fire death and hate, your body I will desecrate Dogs and vultures eat your flesh the Hall of Hades waits Die... VII/ THE DESECRATION OF HECTOR'S BODY (19:40) (Instrumental Part) VIII/ THE GLORY OF ACHILLES (24:25) 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.
