Odysseus It’s come to a point of no return The enemy deep within its walls Unbreachable, they will never fall Muses (Walls will never fall) Odysseus O Goddess, have you led us all to die At the gates of Troy Athena 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 Odysseus/Achaeans 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! Odysseus 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 Neoptolemus 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! Nestor 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! Sinon 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 Odysseus/ Athena 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 Odysseus/Achaeans 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! Cassandra 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! Cassandra / Muses 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 Agamemnon 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 Achaeans In the halls of Ilium Keep pushing men The Trojans will die tonight Agamemnon Will die tonight! Odysseus / Muses 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) Athena / Muses 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) All Characters Within the Song of Troy!
