War and Peace intertwined,
Breaking all sins, crossing the line,
She a princess, he a warrior,
Hatred was the one that brought them together.

He opened her eyes to the world,
Made her realize not to judge a book by its cover,
He wasn't a dumb brute, she put it plainly,
Seduced by his love she falls for him freely.

Cousins are killed she knows his sorrow,
They weep together until tomorrow,
Alas they are separated for forever it seems,
Until his aching heart realized she was his dream.

Strength and skill got him through,
Yet his heel couldn't escape the arrow that flew.
You gave me a lifetime of war and peace he said,
Caressing her, almost dead.

Her sobs echoed across all of Troy,
Gently she placed her lips on his, saying goodbye.

She glimpsed at him once more before she turned away,
Her warmth stayed with him until great Troy turned to grey.
