Intro
Em Emadd11
Verse 1
-- Athena --
Em Emadd11
Father, God King, rarely do I ask for favors
Now, I'm knocking on your door
With hopes to save a friendship
With one who's a prisoner far
from home
Odysseus
-- Zeus,(Athena) --
Emadd11
Divine intervention, is that what you seek?
Em Emadd11
To untie apprehensions that were placed on that Greek?
You are playing with thunder for
a man full of shame
But if he's worth the risk of
going under
N.C.
Why not make it a game?
Bridge
Em Emadd11
Convince each of them that he ought to be released
Em Emadd11
And I'll release him (Who's them?)
Em Emadd11
Apollo
Em Emadd11
Hephaestus
Aphrodite
Arеs
B Em Emadd11
Hera or me
What do you say?
N.C.
(Apollo): Great
(Hephaestus): Vеry well
(Aphrodite): Eh
(Ares): Alright
(Hera): Groovy
(Athena): Bring it
Verse 2
(Ensemble):Apollo
-- Apollo,(Athena) --
You all know I'm a fan of catchy
songs
So with so many sirens gone
I think Ody's in the wrong
(They were trying to do him
worse)
(All he did was reimburse them)
(Now they'll tread with caution
first)
(To live another day and sing
another verse)
N.C.
If that's true, release him
Verse 3
(Ensemble):Hephaestus
-- Hephaestus,(Athena) --
Trust is not given, it's forged
Why should I give him my
support?
He sacrificed his own cohort
(Did you forget they failed to
listen?)
(He was betrayed and then
imprisoned)
(But if you make the right
decision)
(He can still build a future
with those who miss him)
N.C.
Fine, release him
Verse 4
(Ensemble):Aphrodite
-- Aphrodite,(Athena) --
Your little high and mighty
Odysseus
Claims to love his mother, but
let her die of a broken heart
(He was busy fighting)
More like busy spiting the
cyclops
Let him feel the pain that his
mother felt and rot
(Wait)
(Please reconsider this)
Verse 5
-- Ares,(Athena), Ensemble --
Really, Athena? These old tricks? (Ares)
E: Ares, Ares
What kind of sick coward holds
back his power
While his friends get devoured?
He didn't even fight Scylla,
didn't even try to kill her
Hides inside a wooden horse to
get the job done
Never handles things upfront
Pathetic and weak like his son
(Hold your tongue now, his son's
my friend)
(And tell your lover that a
broken heart can mend)
(You want more bloodshed? Then
set him free)
(To get back to his homestead,
he'll make everybody bleed)
N.C.
(Aphrodite & Ares): Ugh, release him
Verse 6
-- HERA,(Athena),Ensemble --
Hey, baby
E: Hera
So many heroes, so many tales
Give me one good reason why
yours should prevail
(He's got the mind of a genius)
Try harder
(He's pretty skilled with words)
You can do better than that
(He's kind of funny) Eh
(Never once has he cheated on
his wife)
N.C.
Release him
Verse 7
-- Athena --
Em Emadd11
Em Emadd11
I've played your game and won, release him
-- Zeus --
Em Emadd11
You dare to defy me, to make me feel shame?
Em Emadd11
No one beats me, no one wins my game
Thunder, bring her through the
wringer
Show her I'm the judgement call
The one who makes her kingdom
fall
N.C.
(Ares):Is she dead?
Instrumental
Outro
