Manowar - Achiles, Agony & Ecstasy (In Eight Parts) Lyrics

[Prelude]

[Instrumental]

[I. Hector Storms The Wall]

See My Chariot
Run To Your Ships
I'll Drive You Back To The Sea

You Came Here For Gold
The Wall Will Not Hold
This Day Was Promised To Me

The Gods Are My Shield
My Fate Has Been Sealed
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]

Oh Friend Of Mine
How To Say Goodbye
This Was Your Time
But The Armor You Wore Was Mine

I Will Not Rest
Until Hectors 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]

[Instrumental]

[IV. Armor Of The Gods]

[Instrumental]

[V. Hector's Final Hour]

Here Inside The Walls Of Troy
The Gods Weigh My Fate
From This Day 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]

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 Dealt 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

Hectors 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]

[Instrumental]

[VIII. The Glory Of Achilles]

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
Hectors 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

Hectors 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
