Circuits To Illium by Laurence Neill

Music by Trio Stendhal from their CD 'Something Happened'(1994)

Circuits to Illium

Odysseus, again plans a campaign
And facing him a world of wine dark seas
While some other Hector, constant in desire
Strides Sedd-El-Bahr, aligning paths of fire.

The battle ground has moved across the straits
A blink for Gods - eternity for men
And still we go, marching down the days
Dictated by destiny's strange ways.

Whose was the face that launched these ships?
What trophy, dancing like mirage
Demanded war? Nothing ever changes
But means of death from too familiar strangers.

Now Agammemnon leads the ANZAC Corps
With bold Achilles, fresh from Castlemaine
Fighting as they've never fought before
New players don the robes of 'Men at War'.
