[chorus]
the gods bless and so they curse
for better or for worse
sire children with their human slaves
they demand my loyalty
from beggars to royalty
from the cradle to grave

an age of wisdom
madness and glory
an age of war and brooding peace
one shelter from an ancient story
known as ancient greece
[homer, spoken]
achilles, of thessaly

[chorus]
cursed with flawed immortality

[homer, spoken]
agamemnon of mycenae

[chorus]
interred with ambition

[homer, spoken]
ulysses, of ithaca

[chorus]
longs for peace and security
lonely his road to achieve them

[homer, spoken]
menelaus of sparta

[chorus]
he’s granted the hand of helen
to share his throne
he worships her beauty
and thereby is d-mned
for the gods have fashioned
her image on one of their own
they give with one hand
take with the other
mystic schemes
for mortals to discover
inside both human and divine

half truths
believable lies
a glimpse of glory
to covet, to seize
fashion scenes where their aim
justify their means

an age of wisdom
madness and glory
a time for atonement
sorrow or joy
the gods watch as the tale unfolds
behind the walls of troy

[homer, spoken]
priam and hecuba

[chorus]
as regents of the nation
seek only for peace and prosperity
[homer, spoken]
hector of troy

[chorus]
their son, a soldier, a hero
who proudly caught his destiny

[?]
paris

[chorus]
in love with life and his beauty
he is
a goddess calls his name
will he follows his head or his heart to her
or turn away in vain

[?]
oh paris, come wander from your fold
and grant me your apple cast from gold
answer my call
i can offer it all
take me as your reward
be mine paris
for ever and ever

[chorus]
a princess of troy
watches over the boy
and prays
her senses deceive her
only cassandra can see what future hold
and only her priest will believe her

[helen]
oh paris
i saw from the start
one goddess
one human count apart

[chorus]
gods steal and so they take
[?]
they praise and humiliate
despite the trials of pain
destroy for pleasure and for pain
to slay the son of such a beast

they destroy, they compensate
will this nation ever be the same
lavish [?] and so their fate
or will insanity reign
now a young man hears the call
[?]
[?] the truth
[?]
you should have known better
