The Horse and the Infant

Alright, my brothers, listen closely

Tonight, we make the Trojans pay

Ten years of war, they've killed us slowly

But now we'll be the ones who slay

Think of your wives and your children

Your families wonder where you've been

They're growing old and yet you're still here

Do what I say, and you'll see them again (yes, sir!)

Diomedes will lead the charge

Agamemnon will flank the guards

Menelaus will let our mates

Through the gates to take the whole city at large

Teucer will shoot any ambush attack

And little Ajax will stay back

Nestor, secure Helen and protect her

Neo, avenge your father, kill the brothers of Hector (yes, sir!)

Find that inner strength now (whoo!)

Use that well of pride (whoo!)

Fight through every pain now (whoo!)

Ask yourself inside

What do you live for? What do you try for?

What do you wish for? What do you fight for?

(What do you live for? What do you try for?)

(What do you wish for? What do you fight for?)

Penelope

Penelope

And Telemachus

I fight for us

I fight for us

(What do you live for?) Penelope

(What do you try for?) Telemachus

(What do you wish for?) I'm on my way

(What do you fight for?) Attack!

Who was that?

A vision

Of what is to come, cannot be outrun

Can only be dealt with right here and now

Tell me how

I don't think you're ready

A mission to kill someone's son

A foe who won't run

Unlike anyone you have faced before

Say no more

I know that I'm ready

(I don't think you're ready)

It's just an infant

It's just a boy

What sort of imminent threat does he pose, that I cannot avoid?

This is the son of none other than Troy's very own Prince Hector

Know that he will grow from a boy to an avenger

One fueled with rage as you're consumed by age

If you don't end him now, you'll have no one left to save

You can say goodbye to (Penelope)

You can say goodbye to (Penelope)

I could raise him as my own (he will burn your house and throne)

Or send him far away from home (he'll find you wherever you go)

Make sure his past is never known (the gods will make him know)

I'd rather bleed for ya (he's bringing you)

Down on my knees for ya

I'm begging please (oh, this is the will of the gods)

Please don't make me do this, don't make me do this

The blood on your hands is something you won't lose

All you can choose is whose
