Hector

Not for glory, even honors sake He fights for his family, wife and son at the gate Greeks attack, they push us back Hector must now lead the counter-attack Hector! Tamer of horses Holding fast Prince of troy Ajax the great, slayer of nine Duel “the Trojan’s head shall be mine” To a stand still, day and night Matched in skill, courage and might a truce is called Waves and spray clean our fallen Zeus weighs our fates the great sits, staring at the gift the horse prince’s sword Why? Smashing gates, scaling the wall Apollo on my side, standing tall Killing patrolus, a child in man’s armor Dying words, Hectors fate none the better Hector Tamer of horses Holding fast Princes of troy He knows he is doomed, gods have spoken there stands Achilles, at the gates still of motion Warrior to the end, challenging the gods Draw weapons, defying the odds
