Em                           Emadd11
Father, God King, rarely do I ask for favors
         Em/C                 
Now, I'm knocking on your door
                      Am/E

Odysseus

Emadd11
Divine intervention, is that what you seek?
Em                     Emadd11
To untie apprehensions that were placed on that Greek?
Em/C                         D/B                    
You are playing with thunder for a man full of shame
Em/C                                B    
But if he's worth the risk of going under
N.C.
Why not make it a game?

You all know I'm a fan of catchy songs
            D              
So with so many sirens gone
        B                 
I think Ody's in the wrong
           C

Why should I give him my support?
        Am              D   
He sacrificed his own cohort
            Em                         
(Did you forget they failed to listen?)
            D                        
(He was betrayed and then imprisoned)
            C                       
(But if you make the right decision)
        B                         D                 Em

        Em            
(He was busy fighting)
               B                  
More like busy spiting the cyclops
Em               Am            C               B  
Let him feel the pain that his mother felt and rot

E: Ares, Ares
Em                                           
What kind of sick coward holds back his power
While his friends get devoured?
                     Em

Hides inside a wooden horse to get the job done
              D             
Never handles things upfront
                           Em 
Pathetic and weak like his son
D          C               D         Em    
(Hold your tongue now, his son's my friend)
     D7        C            D7               Em   
(And tell your lover that a broken heart can mend)
     D         C               D       Em   
(You want more bloodshed? Then set him free)
        D           C                     D         Em

So many heroes, so many tales

Give me one good reason why yours should prevail
Em

Em                                                          
(He's pretty skilled with words) You can do better than that
C/A

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
Em       D         C           B      
Thunder, bring her through the wringer
Em               D             
Show her I'm the judgement call
    C                 B           
The one who makes her kingdom fall
N.C.
(Ares):Is she dead?
