Troy

They sail away
Leave us be
Soon return to the sea
Let us now sleep in peace
Victory
Victory

Wooden horse
Wooden promise
Easily broken
Burn our forest
Break the richest and the poorest
Victory
Victory

Open the gates
Open our hearts
With the gift you did impart
Laced with lies
Laced with cries
In our home the enemy spies

Was it victory
Not for you nor me
For it was not meant to be
Hand us over to the Greeks
The ones who didn't go to sea
But lay in wait
To take our city
Leave blood in the streets
And us for the gods to pity
Victory
Victory
Alas
Let it be
