Wow okay that was amazing

I’m not crying, you are

Okay so like I wrote a song about Patroclus and Achilles

Two Tombs - The Song Of Achilles

[First Verse]

I let you go

Pull my heart from my chest

Slit my throat and lay me to rest

Cause I let you go

I let you go

Can't believe I was so foolish to watch you go

But you swore to me, you would look after you

You swore to me, you'd come back to me

But they brought me your cold body

[Pre-Chorus]

No, I can't eat can't sleep

What's the point in my destiny

I just wanna see you again

Am I cruel for not letting you rest?

I can't stop myself weeping over, clutching your cold body

[Chorus]

But oh my beloved, I'm so sorry

I swear we will see each other again

You made me the happiest hero, I could've ever been

I will collect your ashes and mingle mine with them

We will be together forever in rest

Two tombs together overlooking the sea

My companion, my lover, my best friend

I'm so sorry, I couldn't protect you from myself

I swear, I will collect your ashes and mingle mine with them

Two tombs together overlooking the sea

My companion, my lover, my best friend

[Second Verse]

What good was my strength cause I couldn't protect you?

Was good was Aristos Achaion if not to save you?

You were the only one who mattered, only one I loved

Decades of my life, I spent loving you

Every unspoken word, every kiss we shared

Oh I wished I told you how much I loved you

Soon enough, my beloved

After avenging you, my breath shall stop

And I will come home to you

[Chorus]

But oh my beloved, I'm so sorry

I swear we will see each other again

You made me the happiest hero, I could've ever been

I will collect your ashes and mingle mine with them

We will be together forever in rest

Two tombs together overlooking the sea

My companion, my lover, my best friend

I'm so sorry, I couldn't protect you from myself

I swear, I will collect your ashes and mingle mine with them

Two tombs together overlooking the sea

My companion, my lover, my best friend

[Bridge]

I shall greet death smiling

Cause its a mercy and a gift now

No glory, no fame matters without you to live by my side

It was anguish for my heart,

Every time it beated from the second you were taken for me

But soon enough, my beloved

Our hands will meet, in the heavy dusk

And the light will spill from every corner of everywhere

[Chorus]

But oh my beloved, I'm so sorry

I swear we will see each other again

You made me the happiest hero, I could've ever been

I will collect your ashes and mingle mine with them

We will be together forever in rest

Two tombs together overlooking the sea

My companion, my lover, my best friend

I'm so sorry, I couldn't protect you from myself

I swear, I will collect your ashes and mingle mine with them

Two tombs together overlooking the sea

My companion, my lover, my best friend

Achilles: She cannot see us here.

Patroclus, materializing behind him:

[chirons-tail]

Achilles: If it's 1 or 1000 sins, you're still getting sent to hell. So why not go for 1,000,000 sins and go down there a legend.

Patroclus: Achilles please stop letting the greeks die-

your House is looking a little cursed there, you should probably get that checked out

RIP Chiron, he would’ve loved The Song of Achilles

[chirons-tail]

Song that fit TSoA characters too well:

Young Achilles: Strawberry blonde | Mitski

Young Patroclus: Freaks | Surf Curse

With-Chiron Achilles: No instructions | The Happy Fits

With-Chiron Patroclus: The King | Sarah Kinsey

Deidameia (boo): She doesnt deserve anything good | Me.

Odysseus: Super Mario Jazzy Song | Nintendo (really any jazz for Odysseus, idk why but it REALLY suits him)

Diomedes: Get a Job | The Happy Fits

I'm going to be doing more of these so comment which character you'd like me to include in part 2! <3

(Also literally any The Happy Fits song works with young Achilles. They're such an amazing, underrated indie band. Please please check them out, thank you for coming to my Ted talk).
