What Price a Friend

[PATROCLUS]
Agamemnon, you divide us all
With your bitching
And brooding
You feast on power and fortune
And seem to relish
Petty feuding

Menelaus, I indulge your grief
Your dignity and your pain
Yet in your grieving, bitterness
As your vengeance lost its aim
What price a friend?
What price a friend?

Oh, Achilles the blood-stained killer
With your strength comes your wounded pride
But I know your façade
For I've heard
The child that weeps inside
Am I a part of you?
Are you a part of me?
My sometimes father
My sometimеs son
Your word is my bond
To the end
What price a friеnd?
What price a friend?
What this price, my friend

[PATROCLUS, spoken]
Ah! You're afraid of me, Hector

[HECTOR, spoken]
Never!
You’re not Achilles

[PATROCLUS, SPOKEN]
Prove your doubt
Face me!

[ACHILLES]
Now I truly know the touch of death
Though she often leaves by my hand
May all the gods reward you, Patroclus
You were a honorable man
Who suffered me
My foolish pride
My arrogance
My pain
So to all who dare to hear
I swear you that you have not died in vain
So be it
Let it end
Their price for a friend
My only friend

(spoken)
Hector! It's time
(sung)
You and I
Are both sides of a coin
We're more alike than any two men
That by the curse I suffer
From my god father's loins
(spoken)
I'll meet you alone
Let it end
Let it end
