I Am Achilles

Well I was born inside a working house, long ago.
Where many stronger people than myself, wouldn't go.
The streets were grey and black as my heart was, dry and cold,
but I defeated that environment, with my gold.
I'm made invulnerable.
I am invulnerable.
I am invulnerable to you.

I, I, I am Achilles.
My golden skin and silver eyes.
I am Achilles.
I am invulnerable.
I, I, I am Achilles.
My golden skin and silver eyes.
I am Achilles.
I am invulnerable to lies.

You might think what you write about me hurts, but you're wrong.
You might believe my friends are influenced, they are strong.
Perhaps you're trying to express your wish, to be cursed.
You cannot cause me pain or trouble me, with your words.
I am invulnerable.
I am invulnerable.
I am invulnerable to you.

I, I, I am Achilles.
My golden skin and silver eyes.
I am Achilles.
I am invulnerable.
I, I, I am Achilles.
My golden skin and silver eyes.
I am Achilles.
I am invulnerable to lies.

You cannot hurt me.
You cannot hurt me.
You cannot hurt me with your lies.
