Since we left home we've faced a variety of foes from a wide range of places

(Who, me? All I did was reveal their true forms)
N.C.
You turned them into pigs (Huh!)
[Chorus 1]
--- CIRCE ---
Gbmaj7
I don't know who you are nor why you're here
F7
But let me make this one thing clear
Gbmaj7
I've got people to protect, Nymphs I can't nеglect
F7
So I'm not taking chances, dear
Gbmaj7
If you makе one wrong move, then you're done for
F7
Anything I don't approve, then you're done for
Gbmaj7
I could put a spell on you and you're done for
F7
Boy, you better run or soon you will done for
[Verse 2]
--- ODYSSEUS, (CIRCE) ---
Bbm
I don't mean to tip your scale but you will fail at
Gb F7
Placing any spells on me
Bbm
I just ate a flower, one that claims your power
Gb F7
So you better cower now and flee
Bbm
(You must be a liar, Mortals can't acquire)
Gb F7
(Moly without dire consequence)
Bbm
Then I must be a god like you, cause I got this root
Gb F7
From the ground with my bare hands
N.C.
(Hermes gave it to you, didn't he?)
N.C.
Okay, fine, yes, but regardless
[Chorus 2]
--- ODYSSEUS ---
Gbmaj7
You and I are now evenly matched
F7
Our fates are intertwined, they're attached
--- ODYSSEUS, CIRCE ---
Gbmaj7
I've got people to protect, friends I can't neglect
F7
So now there is no turning back
Gbmaj7
You've made your one wrong move, now you're done for
F7
I will be the one to prove that you're done for
Gbmaj7
Not even a spell saves you, cause you're done for
F7
Oh, you better run or soon you will be done for
[Outro]
--- CIRCE, (ODYSSEUS) ---
Bbm
(You've lost)
Bbm Faug/A
My nymphs are like my daughters
Db/Ab Gm7
I protect them at all costs
Gbmaj7 Bbm/F
The last time we let strangers live
Ebm F7
We faced a heavy loss
Bbm Faug/A
You've given me no reason to
Db/Ab Gm7
Bestow you with my trust
Gbmaj7 Bbm/F
But everyone's true colours are
Ebm F7
Revealed in acts of lust
N.C.
(I'm not sure I follow)
*** THERE ARE OTHER WAYS (Track 17)***************************************************************************
[Verse 1]
--- CIRCE ---
Bm Em A
There are other ways of persuasion
D Gmaj7
There are other modes of control
C#m7 F#7
There are other means of deceit
Bm B
There are other roads to the soul
Em A
There are other actions of passion
D Gmaj7
You have so much left to learn
C#m7 F#7
Want to save your men from the fire?
B
Show me that you're willing to burn, woah
[Chorus 1]
--- ODYSSEUS, (CIRCE) ---
Fm Bb
Who's to say, with the mistakes I've made (Don't be afraid)
Eb Abmaj7
That they will be thе last (Think of your past) mistakes I ever makе? (Don't break when)
--- ODYSSEUS, CIRCE ---
Dm7 G7
There is so much power, so much power
C C7
But there's no puppet here
--- CIRCE, (ODYSSEUS) ---
Fm Bb
This is the price we pay to love (I'm just a man)
Eb Abmaj7
There is no line never enough (I'm just a man)
Dm7 G7
So much power, so much power (Forgive me)
C
But there's no puppet here
[Verse 2]
--- ODYSSEUS ---
Fm Bb Eb
I can’t!
Fm Bb
Back at home, my wife awaits for me
Eb Abmaj7
She is my everything, my Penelope
Dm7 G7
And she’s all my power, all my power
Cm C7
But it’s been twelve long years, oh
Fm Bb
Twelve long years since I have seen my wife
Eb Abmaj7
And now the god of tides is out to end my life
Dm7 G7
So I beg you Circe, grant us mercy
Cm Cm7
And let us puppets leave
[Verse 3]
--- CIRCE ---
N.C.
(Ah, Posiden, eh?)
C5 Fm Bb
There might be a way to evade him
Eb Abmaj7
There might be a way to get home
Dm7 G7
Though this other way’s very dangerous
C7
It might be your one final hope
Fm Bb
I know of a brilliant prophet
Eb N.C. C5
Problem is this prophet is dead
Dm7 G7 Cm
I can’t get you home, but I’ll get you to the Underworld instead
Dm7 G7 Cm
I’ll release your men, and I’ll get you to the Underworld instead
[Verse 4]
--- CIRCE, (ODYSSEUS) ---
Cm
(Wait, you’re helping us?)
Fm Bb
There are many ways of persuasion
Eb Abmaj7
There are many modes of control
Dm7 G7
Maybe showing one act of kindness
C C7
Leads to kinder souls down the road
Fm Bb
I remember actions of passion
Eb Abmaj7
I have been in love once before
Dm7 G7 C C7
Maybe one day the world will need a puppeteer no more
Dm7 G7
Or maybe one day the world will need a puppeteer
[Chorus 2]
--- SOLDIERS, (CIRCE) ---
Ab/F Bb/G
(more!)So much power, so much power
Ab Bb
But there’s no puppet here
Cm
No she’ not a player, she’ a puppeteer
Cm
No she’ not a player, she’ a puppeteer, yeah!
