[The Muse] Not every union 'twixt deamon and man Ascends beyond violence or kings' grasping hands Enter Thetis, a Nereid queen And Achilles, a babe blessed by forces unseen
[Thetis] As I carry you here by the heel You were fated to ward off our terror Every soldier and peasant will kneel For Achilles, a name we'll remember
Stepping onto the beaches of conquest Valiance an unspoken vow His power, their redemtion, the mortal Greeks' best Every kingdom and ruler will bow
May the Fates be witness Olypmus blessed upon battle A lion's mane When Hector is slain Shrewder still to yet spare the cattle
Hades Bear witness I beg these waters bless him Let the River of Souls shield him No arrow, no weapon, no man, no God shall mark my boy Protect him, please Hold your breath, my son
