Comrade, brother, come pick up your sword
Deliver us to glory at last
Comrade, brother, be true to your word
I’m weary too, but we must hold fast
We entered this battle hand in hand,
a brave two-soldier battalion
My spirited filly at full gallop
to keep stride with your fierce stallion
I was your sharpest dagger,
small and swift as the stinging bee
and you were my strongest shield,
unbreakable as you sheltered me
Heavy is thy helm and bloody is thy armor
But thy spirit was not born to yield
Lift up your head, take one single step farther
Achilles, meet me on the field
For you I’ve crossed kingdoms and sailed across oceans
Now it’s your turn to fight at my side
Rise up for your brothers, your bride, and your people
When courage fails, let love be your guide
Thy soul is too young to receive heaven’s touch
You can rest once our battle is won
Stay with me till daybreak; you owe me this much
Achilles, I beg you, don’t run
