歌词

[Verse 1]
I saw a man this morning
Standing on a foreign shore
From his eyes tears were falling
As he made ready for war
[Verse 2]
He shouted out a warning
"You slew my sweetest friend
And as sure as day is dawning
His death will be avenged"
[Chorus]
Was it so hard to die, Achilles
So very hard to die?
You know and I know not, Achilles
So much the happier I
You breached the walls of Troy, Achilles
Slaughtered a thousand men
Patroclus is destroyed, Achilles
And can't come back again
[Verse 3]
I saw a man this morning
Trudging through a muddy field
From the sky a shell was falling
With his name scratched in the steel
[Verse 4]
Lend him your shield, Achilles
Ask the gods to be his guide
All he has is 'A Shropshire Lad'
With this poem scrawled inside
[Chorus]
Was it so hard to die, Achilles
So very hard to die?
You know and I know not, Achilles
So much the happier I
Look to the starry skies, Achilles
Look to the silver seas
They do not live or die, Achilles
And neither do we
[Outro]
I saw a man this morning
He was turning 53
And his pampered mind was turning
To thoughts of mortality
One day I will be nothing
Think how funny that will feel
For we the living
Death is the Achilles heel
