lyrics

Most’ll fall over at the merest lance
Toss up the bouquet into the scrum and watch them flail
Soon forgotten, what they set out for
And promised withal.
Dregs, soon quailing, folding into the calm
The comforting calm, the upturned palms
They’ll swallow the insult and turn their minds to bric-a-brac
The gutless hacks.
But the seas were not made of molten rock, my love
And I’m not made of shame
The armada approaches the Parisian coast
and returns not till you’re regained.

Helen

I said I’d follow
Your hand I’d follow
In this never will I falter
I will destroy any newcomer
My Love.

I will.

Helen
Through rubble came I here.

Achaeans—the field is yours.
They cannot match your blows
Or heart
They’ll fall before our cause
Achilles—roar.
Slake the goddess with their blood
And salt
They’ll fall before this night has come


And the city will cough up Priam and sons
And the sky will wear the stain of their wrong
Slaughter will end the Trojan song
With each man rueing what he’s done

They stormed the walls of Ilion
Because of you
A coward’s laying in the sun
Because of you
I slaughtered Seven
But I still haven’t held you in these arms
Won’t be long

As long as I have breath
I breathe for you
Helen
I’ve fought so many years
As long as I have breath, Helen,
My will is true
I breathe for you.
