Hector
by CJ Frei
Lyrics
Verse 1
The gates stood open to the dawn
The city watched him take his stand
A father... a husband... a prince... a son...
With nothing but a spear in hand
He kissed his child one final time
His wife could see it in his eyes
He wasn't walking toward a battle...
He was walking toward goodbye.
Pre-Chorus
Not every hero...
Marches to win.
Some march...
Because someone must.
Chorus
Hector!
Guardian of the walls!
When all the world was falling
You refused to fall
Hector!
Defender to the end!
The Sons of the Wolf
Raise their shields again
For honor...
For home...
For every soul behind the stone!
Verse 2
He heard Achilles call his name
Like thunder rolling through the plain
Every step became a choice...
To run...
Or stand.
The gods looked down in silence
As bronze met bronze that day
For courage isn't measured...
By who walks away.
Pre-Chorus
A warrior's heart...
Needs no victory.
Only...
Conviction.
Chorus
Hector!
The last man in the gate!
History remembers
Those who challenge fate
Hector!
Though Troy was doomed to fall
Your courage proved
The strongest wall of all
Bridge
A city is not...
Its towers.
A kingdom is not...
Its crown.
A nation lives...
Inside the men...
Who choose...
To stand their ground.
Final Chorus
Hector!
Your watch is never done!
Every Son of the Wolf
Still marches in the sun
When children ask...
"What makes a hero's name?"
We'll tell them...
"It wasn't because he won..."
It was because...
He stayed.
Outro
The walls of Troy...
May have fallen...
But Hector...
Never did.
