When Heroes Fall Lyrics

Album: Ilium

Andromache

As the sun falls today

As the moonlight veils the sky

I gaze upon the plain

I see Ilium cry in vain

O Gods above!

You take it all

The Earth now is silent and void

It happened yesterday

The clash of shield and blade

A sound of thunder came

And took my life away

The night sky

It seems so dark

Though heroes have fallen

And rise to the stars

Andromache

Beyond the pyre’s bright light

The wind lifts your ashes from the earth

Euterpe echoes your legend

And takes it forever in the wind

Achilles

As the sun falls today

And the sea reflects the light

The plains are empty now

As the pyres reach the sky

O Gods above

Why should we fall?

Is Olympus also in mourn?

Achilles

Beyond the pyre’s bright light

The wind lifts your ashes from the earth

Andromache

(From the earth)

Achilles

Euterpe echoes your legend

And takes it forever in the wind

Andromache

(In the wind)

Andromache/Muses

Beyond the pyre’s bright light

The wind lifts your ashes

From the earth

Achilles

(From the earth)

Andromache

Euterpe echoes your legend

And takes it forever in the wind

Achilles

Forever by the wind

Achilles/ Andromache

Beyond the pyre’s bright light

The wind lifts your ashes from the earth

Euterpe echoes your legend

And takes it forever in the wind
