SCYLLA:
Hello.
ANTINOUS, SUITORS:
Hold 'em down, hold 'em down (Hold 'em down, oh)
Hold 'em down, hold 'em down
Hold 'em down, hold 'em down (Hold 'em down)
Channel the fire inside your soul, and-
(Hold 'em down, hold 'em down)
ODYSSEUS:
For twenty years, I've suffered every punishment and pain
From the wrath of gods and monsters to the screams of comrades slain
I come back and find my palace desecrated, sacked like Troy
Worst of all, I hear you dare to touch my wife and hurt my boy!
SOLDIERS:
What do you live for?
What do you try for?
What do you wish for?
What do you fight for?
ZEUS:
Enlighten me, King of Ithaca
Since hunger was far too great
I wonder who'd take the weight of the damned
And suffer a gruesome fate to the
ZEUS:
Lightning wielder, here to yield your
Time, for you have passed your prime
Sublime you for your act of crime
ZEUS:
!Ares!
PENELOPE:
I'm supposed to choose a suitor to wear the crown
I said I would choose as soon as I weave this shroud
SCYLLA, ENSEMBLE, ODYSSEUS:
Deep down, we only care for ourselves
Eurylochus, light up six torches
Deep down, we're lonely demons from hell
ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS, ALL:
And Ithaca's waiting (Ithaca's waiting)
My kingdom is waiting (The kingdom is waiting)
Penelope's waitin' for me (Waiting)
So full speed ahead, full speed ahead
TELEMACHUS:
I can't help but wonder what your world must be
If we're like each other, if I have your strength in me
All this time I've wondered if you'd embrace me as your own
Twenty years, I've wandered, for so long I've felt alone
PENELOPE:
Though I never thought
That these would be the lengths we go for love
I would not have it any other way!
ODYSSEUS:
Would you fall in love with me again
If you knew all I've done?
The things I can't undo
I am not the man you knew
I know that you've been waiting, waiting
POSEIDON:
Alright!
SUITORS 9, 10 & ODYSSEUS:
We're empty handed, up against an archer
Our only chance is to strike him in the darkness
We know these halls, the odds can be tilted-
You don't think I know my own palace? I built it.
CALYPSO:
Why in the world won't you love me too?
ZEUS:
!Ares!
ODYSSEUS:
At least I know what I'm fighting for
While you're fighting to be known
Since you claim you're so much wiser
Why's your life spent all alone?
You're alone!
ODYSSEUS, EURYLOCHUS:
This is the home of the wind god
And what's your plan?
I'm gonna climb to the top and ask 'em for a hand
ODYSSEUS, CIRCE:
You've made your one wrong move, now you're done for
I will be the one to prove that you're done for
Not even a spell saves you, 'cause you're done for
Oh, you better run or soon you will be done for
POSEIDON:
Do you know who I am?
ODYSSEUS, EURYLOCHUS:
What was it?
A woman
What?
She had us in just two words!
ANTINOUS, SUITORS:
Hold him down 'til the boy stops shakin'
Hold him down while I slit his throat
Hold him down while I slowly break his
Pride, his trust, his faith and his bones!
CIRCE, ODYSSEUS:
You must be a liar
Mortals can't acquire moly without dire consequence
Then I must be a god like you
'Cause I got this root from the ground with my bare hands-
ODYSSEUS:
I'll become the monster
TELEMACHUS:
Father?
She's waiting for you
ANTINOUS:
Screw this competition, we've been here for hours
None of us can string this, we don't have the power
Screw this damn challenge, no more delays
Can't you guys see we're being played?
This is how they
HERMES:
Wouldn't you like a taste of the power?
Wouldn't you like to use more than words?
Deep in the night, the fight lasts for hours
You can be hurt or you can beat her
EURYLOCHUS, SOLDIERS:
Captain (Eurylochus)
Six hundred men (Six hundred men)
Six hundred men with big mouths to feed
And we've run out of supplies to eat (Curse the war, our food store's depleted)
ATHENA:
You're not looking for a mentor
I'm not looking for a friend
I mistook you for a general
What a waste of effort spent!
