Troy is a 2004 epic war film written by David Benioff and directed by Wolfgang Petersen and loosely based on Homer's Iliad. It features an cast that includes Brad Pitt as Achilles, Eric Bana as Hector, Orlando Bloom as Paris, Diane Kruger as Helen, Sean Bean as Odysseus, Brian Cox as Agamemnon, Rose Byrne as Briseis, Garrett Hedlund as Patroclus, Peter O'Toole as Priam, Brendan Gleeson as Menelaus, and Tyler Mane as Ajax.
It was nominated for the Academy Award for Costume Design.
Prince Hector (Eric Bana) and his young brother Paris (Orlando Bloom) negotiate peace between Troy and Sparta. Paris has fallen in love with Helen (Diane Kruger), the wife of king Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson), and smuggles her back to Troy with him. Infuriated, Menelaus vows revenge. Menelaus approaches his brother Agamemnon (Brian Cox), a king who has conquered every army of Greece, and now commands them. Agamemnon, who has wanted to conquer Troy for years (which would give him control of the Aegean Sea), uses this as a justification to invade Troy. General Nestor (John Shrapnel) asks him to take the legendary warrior Achilles (Brad Pitt), to rally the troops to the cause.

and say what's the deal
so try to understand what I'm saying

Remember, I will still be here
As long as you hold me, in your memory
Remember, when your dreams have ended
Time can be transcended
Just remember me
I am the one star that keeps burning, so brightly,
It is the last light, to fade into the rising sun
I'm with you
Whenever you tell, my story
For I am all I've done
Remember, I will still be here
As long as you hold me, in your memory
Remember me
I am that warm voice in the cold wind, that whispers
And if you listen, you'll hear me call across the sky
As long as I still can reach out, and touch you
Then I will never die
Remember, I'll never leave you
If you will only
Remember me
Remember me...
Remember, I will still be here
As long as you hold me
In your memory
Remember, when your dreams have ended
Time can be transcended
I live forever
Remember me
Remember me
Remember... me...
Remember
I will still be here
As long as you hold me
In your memory
Remember
When your dreams have ended
Time can be transcended
Just remember me
I am the one star that keeps burning so brightly
It is the last light to fade into the rising sun
I'm with you whenever you tell my story
For I am all I've done
Remember
I will still be here
As long as you hold me
In your memory, remember me
I am that warm voice in the cold wind that whispers
And if you listen you'll hear me call across the sky
As long as I still can reach out and touch you
Then I will never die
Remember
I'll never leave you
If you will only
Remember me
Remember
I will still be here
As long as you hold me
In your memory
Remember
When your dreams have ended
Time can be transcended
I live forever - remember me
Remember me, remember me

Listen to me sons of Troy
It´s time to be great
To make our names remain
Empires are forged by war
By the Honor of gods
By and army of one million men
(Achilles)
A thousand ships of war
Sailing away leave behind
His wives, his pride
(Hermes)
Here there´s no young man dying
The war is not behind
The Unbreakable walls of Troy
(Samael)
Pride, just fight your own hopeless pride
Drowned in your own sea of wine
(Achilles)
I will not kill you
Far from the eyes of the crowd
You´ll roam without your eyes forever
(Hermes)
Here there´s no young man dying
The war is not behind
The Unbreakable walls of Troy
(Judith)
Threatened by my land
I want to leave with you
Let´s drink to peace while we can
'Cause this blessed morning will curse us
We were not fair
(Samael)
Pride, just fight your own hopeless pride
Drowned in your own sea of wine
(Judith)
A gift without a name to know
An Arrow destroying a god, a legend
There´s no victory in a battle
Where a Hero closes his eyes
So as you and me
(Samael),(Achilles)
Pride, just fight your own hopeless pride
Drowned in your own sea of wine
(Achilles)
The frost is on the pumpkin
The wind it burns your skin
Go to your grandmother
She knows the shape you’re in
Trains that run past midnight
They snake all through our town
Try to run to see one
They’ll always run you down
Sing a song about the river
Sing another song
You lay awake for hours
And the daylight hunts you down
Hide behind the window
The night will come around
You get a little older
And crave the sun again
The Midnight Special sounding low
Sounding low
Is coming round the bend
Sing a song about the river
Sing another song
The frost is on the pumpkin
The wind it burns your skin
Go to your grandmother
She knows the shape you’re in
Trains that run past midnight
They snake all through our town
Try to run to see one
I'll remember it
And Dublin in a rainstorm
And sitting in the long grass in summer
Keeping warm
I'll remember it
Every restless night
We were so young then
We thought that everything
We could possibly do was right
Then we moved
Stolen from our very eyes
And I wondered where you went to
Tell me when did the light die
You will rise
You'll return
The phoenix from the flame
You will learn
You will rise
You'll return
Being what you are
There is no other Troy
For you to burn
And I never meant to hurt you
I swear I didn't mean
Those things I said
I never meant to do that to you
Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead
Oh, does she love you
What do you want to do?
Does she need you like I do?
Do you love her?
Is she good for you?
Does she hold you like I do?
Do you want me?
Should I leave?
I know you're always telling me
That you love me
Just sometimes I wonder
If I should believe
Oh, I love you
God, I love you
I'd kill a dragon for you
I'll die
But I will rise
And I will return
The Phoenix from the flame
I have learned
I will rise
And you'll see me return
Being what I am
There is no other Troy
For me to burn
And you should've left the light on
You should've left the light on
Then I wouldn't have tried
And you'd never have known
And I wouldn't have pulled you tighter
No I wouldn't have pulled you close
I wouldn't have screamed
No I can't let you go
And the door wasn't closed
No I wouldn't have pulled you to me
No I wouldn't have kissed your face
You wouldn't have begged me to hold you
If we hadn't been there in the first place
Ah but I know you wanted me to be there oh oh
Every look that you threw told me so
But you should've left the light on
You should've left the light on
And the flames burned away
But you're still spitting fire
Make no difference what you say
You're still a liar
You're still a liar
You're still a lawyer
(yes it's really LAWYER, according to the official books !!)
F to dem A-N-T-A-S
Alles klar, jetzt gibt's Megastress
Ihr wolltet grade gehn, ahah, vergesst's
Wir wollen doch mal sehen, wer hier wen verlässt
Du sagst, du liebst jetzt ne andere Band
I'm sorry, I don't understand?
Auch wenn die letzten Jahre schwierig warn
Was haben die denn schon, was wir nicht ham
Versteh' schon, du hast dich halt allein gefühlt
und nach der langen Zeit 'n leichtes Spiel
Dich einfach wieder mal nur zu berührn
Du ließest dich nur verführn, um irgendwas zu spürn
Aber nur wir wissen, was du wirklich brauchst
Gings dir beschissen fingen wir dich auf
Und gings dir besser warn wir auch dabei
Wir mussten weiter, noch'n bisschen um die Häuser ziehn
Wir wussten beide, 'ne Beziehung lebt durch neue Ideen
Warn wir zusammen nicht ein Spitzenteam
Das ham wir nicht verdient, wir ham dir Hits geschrieben
Ich beweise, dass wir nichts davon verloren ham
Wir fangen nochmal ganz von vorne an
Und hör'n nicht drauf, was all die Leute reden
Glaub mir, wir sind dir bis heute troy geblieben!
Yeah!
Du hattest gute Zeiten
Wir waren mit dabei
Wir werden dich begleiten
Wir bleiben troy
Du hattest schlechte Zeiten
und wir warn auch dabei
Wir werden dich begleiten
Wir bleiben troy
Die Zeit war hart, kein High nur Low
und immer wieder diese Popstar-Show
Bei keinem andern war es wieder so
wie bei der coolen Band um Smu-D-O
Du hattest deinen Spaß von Date zu Date
doch irgendwie hat irgendwo immer irgendwas gefehlt
Ey, spielt keine Rolle wieviel Zeit vergeht
Für wahre Liebe ist es nie zu spät
Du weißt, Du und ich das war schon was
Wir rauchten Stash und Weed und Gras en masse
Ich hab dich vollgetextet, du hast zugehört
Wir hatten tollen Sex mit allem Zubehör
Ich frage: was ist alt und rostet eh nicht?
Was hält jung und kostet wenig?
Fan und Band, Girl und Boy, Siegfried und Roy – troy!
Du hattest gute Zeiten
Wir waren mit dabei
Wir werden dich begleiten
Wir bleiben troy
Du hattest schlechte Zeiten
und wir warn auch dabei
Wir werden dich begleiten
Wir bleiben troy
Du hattest gute Zeiten
Wir waren mit dabei
Wir werden dich begleiten
Wir bleiben troy
Du hattest schlechte Zeiten
und wir warn auch dabei
Wir werden dich begleiten
Wir bleiben troy
Wir kennen uns 'ne halbe Ewigkeit
hatten zu jeder Zeit nur wenig Streit
Nur ab und zu gabs mal ein bisschen Knatsch
Durch all den Klatsch und Tratsch fühltest du dich verarscht
Aber es war nicht schwer dich wieder 'rumzukriegen
Diese vier Jungs sind zum Verlieben
Scheint, als wärn wir immer jung geblieben
Warn nicht sehr verschwiegen aber schwer verschieden
Mal brauchtest du jemand, eloquent und gelehrt
der dir die Welt erklärt oder mit dir Rennen fährt
Mal wolltest du 'n bisschen tiefer gehn
Alternative Ideen zu unserm miesen System
Oder dir war mal eher so nach Luxus-Yacht
und wir ham durchgemacht im coolsten Club der Stadt
Doch immer trafen wir den richtigen Ton
machten dir nie was vor, hätte sich nicht gelohnt
Kaum 'ne Band im Land die dir troyer war
Bei der die CD dir nie zu teuer war
Musik ist Therapie, wir sind versteuerbar
Jetzt sag mir nochmal, du hast 'nen neuen Star – pah!
Ist schon ok, ich versteh dich ja
Ja, ich find ja auch, dass er mir ähnlich sah
Jetzt komm' mal her, die Warterei ist vorbei!
Wir sind wieder bei dir und wir bleiben dir troy!
Du hattest gute Zeiten
Wir waren mit dabei
Wir werden dich begleiten
Wir bleiben troy
Du hattest schlechte Zeiten
und wir warn auch dabei
Wir werden dich begleiten
Wir bleiben troy
Du hattest gute Zeiten
Wir waren mit dabei
Wir werden dich begleiten
Wir bleiben troy
Du hattest schlechte Zeiten
und wir warn auch dabei
Wir werden dich begleiten
Wir bleiben troy
Troy, so troy
troy, so troy
Und wir bleiben troy
Troy, so troy
troy, so troy
und wir bleiben troy
Troy, so troy
troy, so troy
Hey, hey, hey ich war dein troyer Begleiter
Hey, hey, hey die Fantas sind in der Stadt
Hey, hey, hey wir machen uns bisschen breiter
(I reminisce, I reminisce, I reminisce)
(I reminisce, I reminisce, I reminisce)
I reminisce, I reminisce, uh, yeah
(I reminisce, I reminisce, I reminisce, I reminisce)
(I reminisce, I reminisce, I reminisce, I reminisce)
I reminisce for a spell or shall I say think back
22 years ago to keep it on track
The birth of a child on the 8th of October
A toast but my granddaddy came sober
Countin' all the fingers and the toes
Now I suppose, you hope the little black boy grows, uh
18 years younger than my mama
But I really got beatings 'cause the girl loved drama
In single parenthood there I stood
By the time she was 21, had another one
This one's a girl, let's name her Pam
Same father as the first but you don't give a damn
Irresponsible, plain not thinking
Papa said chill but the brother keep winking
Still he won't down you or tear out your hide
On your side while the baby maker slide
But mama got wise to the game
The youngest of five kids, hon here it is
After 10 years without no spouse
Momma's gettin' married in the house
Listen, positive over negative for the women and master
Mother Queen's risin' a chapter
Deja vu, tell you what I'm gonna do
When they reminisce over you, my God
My God, tt's so, yeah, so lovely
That's how we like to do it in the 90's
Pete Rock and CL Smooth comin' atcha
When I date back I recall a man off the family tree
My right hand Poppa Doc I see
Took me from a boy to a man so I always had a father
When my biological didn't bother
Taking care of this so who am I to bicker
Not a bad ticker but I'm clocking pop's liver
But you can never say that his life is through
5 kids at 21 believe he got a right too
Here we go while I check the scene
With the Portuguese lover at the age of 14
The same age, front page, no fuss
But I bet you all your dough, they live longer than us
Never been senile, that's where you're wrong
But give the man a taste and he's gone
Noddin' off, sleep to a jazz tune
I can hear his head banging on the wall in the next room
I get the pillow and hope I don't wake him
For this man do cuss, hear it all in verbatim
Telling me how to raise my boy unless he's taking over
I said pop maybe when you're older
We laughed all night about the hookers at the party
My old man standing yelling good God, almighty
Use your condom, take sips of the brew
When they reminisce over you, for real
For real, baby, like that
We for real, comin' atcha
In '92, Pete Rock and CL Smooth
Yeah, c'mon, hit me
I reminisce so you never forget this
The days of way back, so many bear witness the fitness
Take the first letter out of each word in this joint
Listen close as I prove my point
T to the R, uh O Y, how did you and I meet?
In front of Big Lou's, fighting in the street
But only you saw what took many time to see
I dedicate this to you for believing in me
Rain or shine, yes in any weather
My grand mom Pam holds the family together
My Uncle Doc's the greatest better yet the latest
If we're talking about a car, Uncle Sterling got the latest
I strive to be live 'cause I got no choice
And run my own business like my Aunt Joyce
So Pete Rock hit me, nuff respect due
When they reminisce over you, listen
Listen, just listen to the funky song as I rock on
And that's word is bond I'm not playin'
Everybody, just coolin' this song we dedicate
To the one and only never be another, he was my brother
Trouble T-Roy, it's like that y'all
And you don't stop
Pete Rock and CL Smooth for '92
