the slave women's lament - original cast of aristos: the musical lyrics
[briseis]
hmm…
[briseis, iphis, & diomede]
ahh…
[iphis]
so pick a fight
so call on h*ll
so blame it on some girl
[diomede]
her lover’s p*ssed
and just as well
you sn*tch his bronze and pearls
[iphis]
who tells of how we suffered?
who sings about our laughter?
we build our fires
there is no after
[diomede]
we’ve heard your people’s stories
you call us wives and daughters
by ancient pyres
we grieve the slaughter
we cry laments to make you hear
[iphis]
we sing your grief to make you hear
[diomede]
we rise like smoke and disappear
[iphis & diomede]
and grief gives way to
grief gives way to
grief gives way to grief
[iphis]
we came so far
[diomede]
we bear the scars
[iphis]
but the glory’s yours to keep
[briseis]
so you’ll say the hero loved him
more than anybody else did
my heart was broken
but how i felt it
the gentle grief when he was near
now all that’s left are ashes
you will burn him down to ashes
i grasp at nothing
at time in sn*tches
the moment snaps and now the man appears
[iphis & diomede]
grief gives way to
grief gives way to
grief gives way to grief
grief gives way to
grief gives way to
grief gives way to grief
grief gives way to
grief gives way to
grief gives way to grief
grief gives way to
grief gives way to
grief gives way to grief
[briseis]
my lord
[achilles]
briseis
[briseis]
you k!lled hector?
[achilles]
i dragged him through the dust
[briseis]
for what?
[achilles]
he’ll pay for what he’s done
[briseis]
it wasn’t hector who did this
so you sat right here
and smiled goodbye
and sent him off to die?
[achilles]
i couldn’t have said no to him. do you know how hard i tried?
[briseis]
you’re no different than the rest of them
you tried to sell me for your pride
but of course that wasn’t good enough
so you ran and took your flight
and you dressed him up to fight
you went and sold his life
[iphis, diomede, & captives]
grief gives way to
grief gives way to
grief gives way to grief
[briseis]
you wanted this
you’d die for this
and now you dare to weep?
the day he had enough of it
he followed where you led
it’s touching
all this love for him
but he’s already dead
where’s your honor, where’s your honesty?
where’d your courage go to hide?
and we all were sure you loved him
now we all know that you lied
where’s your darling golden pride?
where were you when he died?
[iphis, diomede, & captives]
and grief gives way to
grief gives way to
grief gives way to grief
and grief gives way to
grief gives way to
grief gives way to grief…
[briseis]
you’d go and fight a war for strangers
but you won’t fight for your beloved
you sit here safe and proud and precious
while patroclus dies alone
[iphis & diomede]
the moment of our fate has come
[briseis, iphis, diomede, & captives]
and may our lives be brief
[briseis]
‘cause you left your hallowed city
and it wasn’t even burning
a thousand ships
an ocean churning
you doomed a thousand lives and then
again the end will come
again the walls will crumble
there will be smoke
there will be thunder
the hungry flames will crawl again
[briseis, iphis, diomede, & captives]
grief gives way to
grief gives way to
grief gives way to grief
grief gives way to
grief gives way to
grief gives way to grief
grief gives way to
grief gives way to
grief gives way to grief
grief gives way to
grief gives way to
grief gives way to grief
[briseis]
you came this far
he bears the scars
the glory’s yours to keep
