1 He's a Trojan Prince, She, Oenone fair.

They were much in love, Now, he doesn't care.

Oenone's dropped as Helen and Paris elope,

But the tables are turned with Paris hit in the fray,

Oenone's the only hope and she says "nope".

Oh tragedy tragedy Troy, it isn't your day.   + Reprise

2 Gods are at their tricks, Toy with human life,

Keen to score a point - Zeus to spite his wife.

So Apollo's on hand as Hector's enemies fly,

On Olympus alas, Zeus' golden balances sway,

As Hector's lot slowly sinks he's got to die,

Oh tragedy tragedy Troy it isn't your day.

  

3 Time to say farewell, Kiss his infant son

Bye, then Hector fell, Dead - Achilles won.

The body's dragged and Priam is stricken with grief,

As it's batter'd around the old man hurries to pray,

To take Hector back to lie as fits a chief,

Oh tamer of horses oh Troy it isn't your day.    + Reprise
