The Tree on the Hill

Who's Thalia?

You're not the first half-blood I was sent to protect

I should have told you but but I thought if I did

You'd never want me on this quest

If you knew what a failure I really am

Ask Annabeth, she knows

There's a tree on the hill, up on half-blood hill

That watches over us silent and still

And no one at camp is safe until

We can see the tree on the hill

This was way before I met you

Chiron sent me to escort three half-bloods back to camp

Two were runaways

One was Annabeth

The other was Luke

And the third was Thalia

Tough girl like her dad, Zeus

I thought I was the only kid of the big three gods

You are now

We'd almost made it back to camp but I got nervous

And we got lost and by the time we found the hill

Something else found us

And there on the hill, up on half-blood hill

A cold wind blew dark and chill

Though nothing would slay its wrath or will

We had to make a stand

And maybe if I'd been a little bit braver

Maybe if I stayed behind to fight

But maybe doesn't let me go back and save her

Maybe doesn't make it alright

Thalia saved us

We only survived because she stayed to hold off the monsters

She paid for her sacrifice with her life

Thats when Zeus showed up

And saved her, right?

It was too late for that

As she died he turned her into a tree

So that she could stand protecting us forever

The way I couldn't do for her

There's a tree on the hill, up on half-blood hill

That protects us all and always will

And it's there reminding me

Of all I failed to be

The tree

On the hill
