What Price a Friend lyrics
 by Jon English
		
		
[PATROCLUS]
Agamemnon, you divide us all
With your b*tching
And brooding
You feast on power and fortune
And seem to relish
Petty feuding
Menelaus, I indulge your grief
Your dignity and your pain
Yet in your grieving, bitterness
As your vengeance lost its aim
What price a friend?
What price a friend?
Oh, Achilles the blood-stained killer
With your strength comes your wounded pride
But I know your façade
For I've heard
The child that weeps inside
Am I a part of you?
Are you a part of me?
My sometimes father
My sometimеs son
Your word is my bond
To the end
What price a friеnd?
What price a friend?
What price a friend?
Well, it's this price, my friend
[PATROCLUS, spoken]
Ha! You're afraid of me, Hector
[HECTOR, spoken]
Never!
You’re not Achilles!
[PATROCLUS, spoken]
Prove your doubt!
Face me!
Coward!
[HECTOR, spoken]
Ha!
[ACHILLES]
Now I truly know the touch of death
Though she often lives by my hand
May all the gods reward you, Patroclus
You were an honorable man
Who suffered me
My foolish pride
My arrogance
My pain
So to all who dare to hear
I swear you that you have not died in vain
So be it
Let it end
Their price for a friend
My only friend
(spoken)
Hector! It's time
(sung)
You and I
Are both sides of a coin
We're more alike than any two men
That by the curse I suffer
From my god father's loins
(spoken)
I'll meet you alone
Let it end
Let it end
