The Horse and the Infant Lyrics
[ODYSSEUS] Alright, my brothers, listen closely Tonight we make the Trojans pay Ten years of war, they 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 growin' old, and yet you're still here Do what I say and you'll see them again [SOLDIERS] Yes, Sir [ODYSSEUS] 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 [SOLDIERS] Yes, Sir [ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS] Find that inner strength now (Huh) Use that well of pride (Huh) Fight through every pain now (Huh) Ask yourself inside What do you live for?

[ODYSSEUS] Penelope, Penelope And Telemachus I fight for us, I fight for us [SOLDIERS] What do you live for? [ODYSSEUS, spoken] Penelope [SOLDIERS] What do you try for?

[ZEUS] 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 fumed with rage as you're consumed by age [ZEUS & GODS] If you don't end him now, you'll have no one left to save [ZEUS] You can say goodbye to [GODS] Penelope [ZEUS] You can say goodbye to [GODS] Penelope
