Prelude/Hector storms the Wall - Manowar - [Achilles, Agony And Ecstasy In Eight Parts - part I]
Hector: “Alas! the Gods have lured me on to my destruction. (...) death is now indeed exceedingly near at hand and there is no way out of it- for so Zeus and His son Apollo the far-darter have willed it, though heretofore They have been ever ready to protect me. My doom has come upon me; let me not then die ingloriously and without a struggle, but let me first do some great thing that shall be told among men hereafter“
[Homer, Iliad Book XXII]
“I see my chariot run to your ships
I’ll drive you back to the sea
You came here for gold
The wall will not hold
This day was promised to me
The Gods are my shield
My Fate has been sealed
Lightning and javelins fly
Soon many will fall
We are storming the wall
Stones fall snow from the sky
We will pay with our glory
In the fire of battle
Zeus today is mine
Killing all my way
Like sheep and like cattle
Smashing skulls of all who defy
I spare not the hammer
I spare not the sword
