Helen's War

[Verse] Born from a broken shell of fate Beauty that gods did once create In fields of Troy Where bodies lie Helen stands 'neath a blood-red sky [Verse 2] Voices of old In ancient rhyme Speak of a face that launched a crime Warriors fall The boats they burn For Helen's love No hearts return [Chorus] Oh Helen Queen of the night Shadows of war in your sight Tales of pride The city lost Your beauty came at a heavy cost [Verse 3] Echoes of wails from lofty towers Brave men fall in eleventh hours Marbled halls They whisper still Of Helen’s touch and broken will [Bridge] In the ashes Arrows fly Silver moonlight in her eye Who can judge the hand of fate? Helen stands at Troy’s doomed gate [Verse 4] Menelaus cries out in rage Blood-soaked fields a scribe's blank page For king and kingdom Blade and shield All for one love None would yield
