The Fall of Troy


Oh how I lament the fall of Troy.

A new power-hungry regime in.

And now a reign of terror.

 

Oh how I lament the fall of Troy.

Decaying right before my eyes

Tradition and culture destroyed.

 

Oh how I lament the fall of Troy.

Leaders fragmented; 

Five split into two, two, and one.

 

Oh how I lament the fall of Troy.

A lack of communication from the top;

Dysfuction, chaos rampant.

 

Oh how I lament the fall of Troy.

If only the suitors weren't deceived 

by the offering of wine from a vina.

 

Oh how I lament the fall of Troy.

The commanders veer off course

Without a care for the spartans.

 

Oh how I lament the fall of Troy.

Behind the figurehead lies the true power broker, 

Brutus, second in command.

 

Oh how I lament the fall of Troy.

After battle and war, 

only the wahl remained standing.

 

The fall of Troy.

Oh how I lament the fall of Troy.

Oh how I lament the fall of Troy.
