[Intro – Ancient Greek whispering, ritual, quiet, like a prayer in a tent]
"Ἔρως ἐν σκιᾷ πολέμου,
καρδία δεδεμένη μοίρᾳ.
Δύο ψυχαί, μία πνοή."

[Verse I – lyra + light percussion]
Beneath the stars of burning Troy
I lay my spear, I shed my name
They call me storm, they call me war
But in your arms, I’m not the same
Your breath stills fire inside my chest
Your hands undo what gods have planned
If fate must carve me into myth
Then you are all they’ll never command
In whispered vows and trembling hands
We shed the weight of war and steel
No crown, no fate, no sung-out name
Just flesh that aches and hearts that kneel

[Pre-Chorus – Rising]
They forged my legend out of blood
You saw the man beneath the flame
If I am wrath, if I am doom
You are the truth behind my name

[Chorus – Epic emotional]
You are the fire beneath my skin
The only peace I’ve ever known
If gods demand my soul in war
Then take my glory — leave me home
Let Troy remember screams and steel
Let poets sing of how I fell
But let the earth remember this:
I loved you deeper than The Hades

[Interlude – Greek Folk instrumental, Lyra & Bouzouki, slow, circular rhythm]

[Verse II – Emotional, Reverent, more intimate, closer]
We kissed where olive shadows grew
Your name a prayer upon my tongue
I swore to tear the heavens down
If death should dare to take you young
The sea already knew my grief
The ships were crying in the dark
For every hero dies twice over
Once in flesh, once in the heart
If dawn should steal you from my arms
Then let the night remember this:
That once, before the world broke us,
I lived forever in your kiss

[Pre-Chorus – even more tender]
"Ὦ Πάτροκλε, φῶς ἐμῆς ψυχῆς,
ἄνευ σοῦ κενὸς ὁ κόσμος.
Αἷμα καὶ δάκρυα γίγνονται ἕν,
ἐν ὀνόματι ἀγάπης."

[Ancient Greek Chorus – Tender Like A Kiss on The Throat]

"Ὦ Πάτροκλε, φῶς ἐμῆς ψυχῆς,
ἄνευ σοῦ κενὸς ὁ κόσμος.
Αἷμα καὶ δάκρυα γίγνονται ἕν,
ἐν ὀνόματι ἀγάπης."

[Verse III – Intimate & Passionate, minimal instruments, close vocals]

Your fingers trace the scars I hide
Like holy lines upon my skin
Each breath you steal from my tight chest
Feels like a sin the gods let in
Your lips are fire, slow and sure
A vow pressed deep against my mouth
In this small space, in shadowed light
I forget the north, forget the south

"Σῶμα πρὸς σῶμα, πνοὴ πρὸς πνοήν,
ἐν σκότῳ γεννᾶται ἀλήθεια."

"Body to body, breath to 
breath,
in darkness, truth is born."

[Breakdown – Spoken / Growled]
They sing of my rage
But never of my hands shaking
When they carried you back to me
Cold… silent… wearing my sins

[Final Chorus – Full Power]
If immortality is loss
Then curse the gods who call it gift
I chose your name above all thrones
I chose your breath, I chose this rift
I fall — but not alone
Your fire still burns inside my chest
If loving you is how I die
Then dying loved was dying best

[Outro – Ancient Greek whisper]
"Η μνήμη αθάνατη, η αγάπη άφθαρτη.
Εσύ κι εγώ —
ποτέ δεν χωρίσαμε"

This song was born in collaboration with my lover, Rikki. Rikki and I share a deep fascination with Greek heroes, and one day we looked at each other and knew instantly: our favorite heroic Love pair, Achilles and Patroclus, deserved a song worthy of their bond. So we created one. While writing the lyrics, Rikki and I fully stepped into Achilles’ perspective — into his devotion, his fire, his love, and the unbearable loss that shaped him. We wanted to tell their story not as legend carved in stone, but as something living, breathing, aching, and fiercely human.
