Paris, Prince of Troy and Helen, Queen of Sparta
Cassandra begs Paris not to journey to Sparta.
He is ship wrecked and washed ashore
And meets the mysterious Helen.
Thinking she's a lowly slave,
He falls hopelessly in love.
Escaping the palace intrigue with his life,
He abducts the beautiful Helen
And returns with her to Troy,
Finding humiliation and dishonor
And eventual war
And combat.
While the lovers find few sweet moments,
Helen plans to sacrifice her love.
Learning the Greeks seek only plunder,
Paris refuses to let her go.
And finds a brief moment of happiness,
But the ultimate treachery
Brings the final battle home to Troy,
And wrecks total devastation
Until the final separation... but not goodbye.
Paris: Never, Helen. Helen: Then, this is not goodbye, you shall always be with me. Paris: And you with me. |
