LYRICS

Calliope
Not every union 'twixt daemon 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

Achilles’ Lullaby

Stepping onto the beaches of conquest
Valiance an unspoken vow
His power, their redemption, the mortal Greeks' best
Every kingdom and ruler will bow

May the Fates be witness,
Olympus-blessed upon battle
A lion's mane when Hector is slain
Shrewder still, to yet spare the cattle

Achilles’ Lullaby

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.
