Analysis of To Be a Great Warrior
The iron in my hand
The iron of the blood
The blood on my hands
The blood freely runs
The hurt grows worse,
Grows worse with time
The greed of men
The tears of mine
Hector.
Hector.
Brandish your sword
By Apollo your god
Come finish this war.
Hector.
Hector.
Leave your wife and your seed
Come finish this fight
That was started by greed.
