"Pyrrhus (you go where I cannot)" lyrics

"Pyrrhus (you go where I cannot)"

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
(Godhood and honour)
Of a baby's helpless breathing?
(Godhood and honour)
Old man's blood spilt by your hand?
(Godhood and honour, godhood and honour)
When you are up there on Olympus
(Godhood and honour)
Remember that you did this
(Godhood and honour)
My boy, are you a man?
(Godhood and honour, godhood and honour)

Do you hear the screams, Pyrrhus?
Do you hear the screams?
Hector's babe you killed, Pyrrhus
Is he in your dreams?
