An Ode to Wrath Lyrics

Sing, O goddess,
the anger of Achilles
the son of Peleus,
that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans.

Many a brave soul did it send
hurrying down to Hades,
and many a hero did it yield
a prey to dogs and vultures

an ode to wrath

O Manyu!
your assistants,
deride and trounce
over our enemies

an ode to wrath

You are the slayer
of the unfriendly,
remover of all sorrow

grant me power during war-time,
destroy our enemies

shed your wrath upon
those that carry ill-will
for us and those
whom we deem
our enemies

March on,
like flames of fire in form,
Slay thou our foes,
distribute their possession

An ode to wrath

With thee to aid,
O thou of perfect splendour,
we raise the glorious
battle-shout for conquest

let our enemies
with stricken spirits,
over-whelmed with terror,
sling away defeated
