Achilles Songtext
von Franck Carducci

Dry and dusty air, unwelcoming land
Souls and bodies everywhere, burning in the sand

Hair floating in the wind, eyes shining like the sun
The sound of pain is lingering, the battle′s only just begun

(part 2: Achilles to Patroclus)
All alone, now that you have gone away
I thought you'd be here to stay
By my side along the way
My only friend, My only family
You meant everything to me
Now I′m down on my knees, I'll stand by you ...

(part 3: Achilles to Hector)
This king is not mine! This war is not mine!
Every day and everywhere, I'll show you how much I care

I′ll be chasing you, always searching for you
Behind your back without cease, you′ll never find no peace

It's your destiny to be slain by me
Come and see me face to face, the final show must take place ... now


This king is not mine! This war is not mine!
But what you have taken away from me is my whole reason to be

(part 4: Achilles to Priam)
You came to see me face to face
You kiss my hands, you beg my mercy, plead for my compassion
For now your wish I will embrace
Yes I shall give you back your son
And I′ll stand with my devils
surrounding my soul ... oh Mother what have I done?

(part 5: Achilles to Thetis)
You gave me all you had to give; you taught me how I had to live
I've never wondered how you feel with all the pain I′ve caused you

All I ever wanted to be was the strongest in history
My fame and oh my glory I owe it all to you

I lived my whole life just to fight, every day and every night
When things don't seem to turn out
right, I′d be the first one to get through

I give pain; I give fear
I give death; I give destruction yes I do;

This is the final show of what they'll call a hero
I'll cross the sacred river where someone′s expecting me too


Oh the mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the earth
The mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens ... from the earth ...

(part 6: Crossing the river Styx)
