"If I Die Young"-Achilles' version
If I die young, bury me in a shroud
Lay me down on a, bed from my foes, yes
Sink me in the ocean, when Dawn
Shows her rosy fingers when the rays are long.
Uh oh, uh oh
Zeus, make me a hero, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh well
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but he steals my lady
The sharp arrow of a short life, well
I've not had enough time!
If I die young, bury me in a shroud
Lay me down on a, bed from my foes, yes
Sink me in the ocean, when Dawn
Shows her rosy fingers when the rays are long.
The sharp arrow of a short life, well
I've not had enough time!
And I'll be wearing gold, when I rise to Mt. Olympus,
I'm as red as the hair on the back of my neck,
I've never known the victory of this war
But it sure felt nice when I was swinging my sword,
There's a boy here in town, says he'll hate me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp arrow of a short life, well,
I've not had enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my armor
What I never did is done
A treasure for my spoils, oh no, I want my lady Briseis
She's worth so much more after I've won her
And maybe then you'll realize how well I've been fightin'
Funny when you're dead how people start seein'
If I die young, bury me in a shroud
Lay me down on a, bed from my foes, yes
Sink me in the ocean, when Dawn
Shows her rosy fingers when the rays are long.
Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of an eagle (oh, uh)
Go with war and evil.
Let your tears run, don't keep 'em in your pocket
This is the time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh ('cuz your best warrior just died, bro!)
The sharp arrow of a short life, well
I've not had enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my armor
The song "If I Die Young" belongs to the Band Perry and Achilles does not belong to me.
