First Blood!
What is eternal fame
It comes by killing one
So first blood was yours
And now it's my turn
Achilles had killed Hector
Long time ago already
Destined to his own death
Means his beloved is dead!
Ember Hearts!
Behind the closed doors
There's life, there's love!
There are people
Sensitive and loyal!
There are hearts that beat
Only for you, waiting for you!
There's a third car black one
On my other garage
But you cannot see it
Behind closed doors
As it's in third dimension
On the main street
As I live at the start
Three sides open!
Marriage a gamble
Love a vicious cycle
Achilles never wanted Troy
That's why he hides in Scyros
Even has a fake marriage
With Deidamia and Diomeda
He was gay and was
happy with Patroclus!
He led the Myrmidons
The ant-men created by Zeus
Warriors of the sea, the Argives!
Everyone's saw your power
With one word you create havoc
Just like me and still they trust you
They thought everything was a lie
Until you came and made it true!
