Lyrics Manilla Road

Manilla Road

The Fall of Iliam

Comes the thunder - To Iliam's shore

Dreams of plunder - The Grecian horde

Menelaus - Brings forth his age

Upon Paris - And the Trojan race

Harken the tale of Aeneas - Last hero of Iliam

Mortal born son of Venus - Destined to Latium

Prophecy's promise of saving - The last Trojan line

Spoiler of ethnic cleansing - Who fathered the Roman

Empire

Comes the lightning - The ten year war

Heroes fighting - By the shore

Thrice round Troy's walls - Achilles drew

The corpse of Hector - Whom in fight he slew

Harken the tale of Aeneas - Last hero of Iliam

Mortal born son of Venus - Destined to Latium

Prophecy's promise of saving - The last Trojan line

Spoiler of ethnic cleansing - Who fathered the Roman

Empire

Comes the fire - Out of the steed

Minerva's nightmare - Of Greek deceit

Priam's chambers - With blood are splashed

Trojan towers - Are turned to ash

Harken the tale of Aeneas - Last hero of Iliam

Mortal born son of Venus - Destined to Latium

Prophecy's promise of saving - The last Trojan line

Spoiler of ethnic cleansing - Who fathered the Roman

Empire

Stealth and destruction have come to Troy's walls

Unto the Aeneas Hector's ghost doth call

Save whom you can and make way to the sea

Trust in the fates you are Rome's destiny

Troy's last fleet sails - Italia bound

Aegean storms gale - Ships run aground

Tempests blow them - Across the main

To a new friend - The great Carthage

Stealth and destruction have come to Troy's walls

Unto the Aeneas Hector's ghost doth call

Save whom you can and make way to the sea

Trust in the fates you are Rome's destiny

Ships of Iliam - Again set sail

Unto Italia - Trojans prevail

Venus' son - Fulfills his fate

Forefather of - The Roman race

Stealth and destruction have come to Troy's walls

Unto the Aeneas Hector's ghost doth call

Save whom you can and make way to the sea

Trust in the fates you are Rome's destiny
