The Greek Camp

Lyrics

[ACHILLES, spoken] Agamemnon, where is the slave girl? She belongs to me [AGAMEMNON, spoken] Girl? I see no girl Merely a whore I claim her by right as the leader As spoils of war [ACHILLES, spoken] You unconscionable cur [AGAMEMNON, spoken] Tread carefully, Achilles [ACHILLES] Your shameless scheming divides our ranks And plunders more Greeks than Trojans With your wretched greed you claim all the prizes That others have fought and died for Well, yes I owe my allegiance to Greece For I have sworn to protect her security And usе my god-given strength to defеnd her honor (spoken) And you are her greatest enemy [PATROCLUS, spoken] No No. No that's not the answer [AGAMEMNON, spoken] Has our fight come to this, Achilles Put the damn sword away [PATROCLUS, spoken] Achilles Enough, please [MENELAUS, spoken] Agamemnon What's this all about? [ACHILLES, spoken] The woman is mine [ULYSSES, spoken] Ah what greater cause than affairs of the heart to unite such valiant warriors [ACHILLES] Where is your wife, Menelaus Is she safely back in your arms How is your family, Ulysses? Well? Are you keeping them safe from harm It seems according to Agamemnon's plan We have nothing left to fear We're all rich, content and victorious So tell me What the hell are we doing here? [AGAMEMNON] Cowards Weaklings We brought them to their knees And now you want to turn and run Oh, invincible Achilles On the highest pitch of glory We will end this bloody war Is this our greatest warrior Simpering for a whore [ACHILLES, spoken] How dare you I have killed more Trojans Than any in this room My armour has protected me As I have protected you I now reject my armour And I'll not wear it in your name And I'll not lift one finger In your defense again Agamemnon, this much I swear I'm leaving [MENELAUS] All these senseless bickering Divides us in our cause I am no slave to avarice Or worshiper of war My fight is one of honour For the virtue of my wife And if I must go on alone So be it Then here is where I'll die [PATROCLUS] I'm sorry it's come to this, Menelaus When you have so much to defend I'm caught between loyalties Either way I lose a friend [SOLDIER] They've broken through the blockade And their aim is clear They mean to burn our fleet And leave us stranded here [MENELAUS] Hurry To arms Regroup [ULYSSES] Patroclus, go and fetch your friend He can't mean what he said [PATROCLUS] Oh, he means it all right [AJAX] If Achilles does not lead the charge We might as well be dead [MENELAUS] Go Go Fetch him now We meet you at the line We need his arm and standards If we're to survive this time [PATROCLUS, spoken] But you don't understand [AGAMEMNON] We need him
