Out of the mouths of babes

With unbroken voices shout and play with real blades

Blood-caked, sun-baked, a man that mother made

And I can see the hunger, I can see the hunger

Do you hear the screams, Pyrrhus? Do you hear the screams?

Hector's babe you killed, Pyrrhus, is he in your dreams?

Do you see his eyes, Pyrrhus? Do you see his eyes?

That old king you killed, Pyrrhus, did it bring you pride?

If heroes have mothers, have you heard of her?

I bathed him, I swathed him, my son, the murderer

That boy used to pray to me, not unknown father deities

A blinded worshipper

I miss the child you were, I miss the child you were

Do you hear the screams, Pyrrhus?

Do you hear the screams?

(You go where I cannot, I used to be your god)

Hector's babe you killed, Pyrrhus, is he in your dreams?

(You go where I cannot, I used to be your god)

Do you see his eyes, Pyrrhus? Do you see his eyes?

(You go where I cannot, I used to be your god)

That old king you killed, Pyrrhus

did it bring you pride? (Don't go where I cannot)

Did it bring you pride? Did it bring you pride?

He leaves my arms to take them up

Fight wars he doesn't give a fuck

about for godhood and honour

(Godhood and honour, godhood and honour)

Please, will you give me back my son?

Do you see what he has become?

(Godhood and honour, godhood and honour)

Terrible blood thirst of a child

With his father's eyes and hair of fire

(Godhood and honour, godhood and honour)

What honour is there in the ceasing

of a baby's helpless breathing?

(Godhood and honour, Godhood and honour)

(Godhood and honour, godhood and honour)

Old man's blood spilt by your hand?

When you are up there on Olympus

remember that you did this

(Godhood and honour, Godhood and honour)

(Godhood and honour, godhood and honour) My boy

are you a man?

Do you hear the screams, Pyrrhus? Do you hear the screams?

Hector's babe you killed, Pyrrhus, is he in your dreams?
