Deborah Stokol - Song of Achilles: My Name Shall Live Forever Lyrics

All the finest cattle
Could be taken at nightfall
Treasures traded in a host's hall
But the breath of a man
Once gone
Cannot return
But the breath of a man
Once gone
Cannot return
All the fattest sheep
Could be taken at nightfall
Treasures traded in a host's hall
(And all the golden stallions you might wish)
But the breath of a man
Once gone
Cannot return
But the breath of a man
Once gone
Cannot return
My dear mother has told me
Of my Destiny
And my fate in Death
If I battle here on these beaches
Sieging Troy
I'll never see my home
But my Name shall live Forever
I'll never see my home
But my Name shall live Forever
If I sail these seas
To my beloved fatherland
My Name
My Glory end
If I sail these seas
To my beloved fatherland
My Name
My Glory end
If I battle here on these beaches
Sieging Troy
I'll never see my home
But my Name shall live Forever
I'll never see my home
But my Name shall live Forever
I'll never see my home
But my Name shall live Forever

All the finest cattle
Could be taken at nightfall
Treasures traded in a host's hall
But the breath of a man
Once gone
Cannot return
But the breath of a man
Once gone
Cannot return
All the fattest sheep
Could be taken at nightfall
Treasures traded in a host's hall
(And all the golden stallions you might wish)
But the breath of a man
Once gone
Cannot return
But the breath of a man
Once gone
Cannot return
My dear mother has told me
Of my Destiny
And my fate in Death
If I battle here on these beaches
Sieging Troy
I'll never see my home
But my Name shall live Forever
I'll never see my home
But my Name shall live Forever
If I sail these seas
To my beloved fatherland
My Name
My Glory end
If I sail these seas
To my beloved fatherland
My Name
My Glory end
If I battle here on these beaches
Sieging Troy
I'll never see my home
But my Name shall live Forever
I'll never see my home
But my Name shall live Forever
I'll never see my home
But my Name shall live Forever
