EPIC: The Thunder Saga Musical Album Lyrics

[SIRENS]
Penelope
Penelope

[PENELOPE]
Don't you miss me?

[ODYSSEUS]
More than you know

[PENELOPE]
Then jump in the water and kiss me

[ODYSSEUS]
Penelope, I've told you this before
You know I'm afraid of the water

[PENELOPE]
I'll make sure that you are safe and sound
Come play with me and our daughter
And let's watch our love leave the ground

[ODYSSEUS]
Oh, I would
But I'd be suffering trying to float the whole time

[PENELOPE]
I would take the suffering from you

[ODYSSEUS]
Oh, as good as it sounds, right here I'm just fine

[PENELOPE]
I could take the suffering from you

[ODYSSEUS]
You know that I prefer my feet on the ground

[PENELOPE]
I will take the suffering from you

[ODYSSEUS]
Fine, but only if you answer a question or two

[PENELOPE, spoken]
Of course!

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Okay, so let's say I was on the run or hiding...
From, I don't know, Poseidon...
And let's say he blocked the way home with giant waves and giant storms...

[PENELOPE, spoken]
Oh no!

[ODYSSEUS]
How am I to evade him?
How am I to get home?
Which route should I take?
Where am I supposed to go?

[PENELOPE]
He will chase you high and low
So find a place he'd never go
The one way you'll get home
Is sailing where he's scared to roam, oh
It's through the lair of Scylla

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
No...

[PENELOPE]
This is your only way home
The lair of Scylla

[ODYSSEUS]
But Scylla has a cost

[PENELOPE]
Well, you asked and now you know
Now jump in the water!

[ODYSSEUS]
Penelope, why?
You know I'm too shy and terrified

[PENELOPE]
I would take the suffering from you

[ODYSSEUS]
Oh, for you, I would die, but can't you let me stay dry?

[PENELOPE]
I could take the suffering from you

[ODYSSEUS]
You should come onto the ship
We'll jump at the same time

[PENELOPE]
I will take the suffering from you

[ODYSSEUS]
Ah, the things I do for you

Let's cut this charade, you are no wife of mine
You've been tryna take my life this whole time
I know underwater, there are packs of you hiding
Yeah, I know exactly what you are: a siren
My real wife knows I'm not scared of the water
And my real wife knows I don't have a daughter
But while you were so focused on turning my men into snacks
You didn't notice that your friends got snatched

What?

We are a different beast now
We are the ones who feast now
No more of us deceased, 'cause we won't take more suffering from you
We are the man-made monsters
We are the ones who conquer
You are a threat no longer
We won't take more suffering from you

We've been away from home for about 12 years or so
First we slayed in our own war
And now, we're here with more foes
While on the run from Poseidon
We found a ship with no crew
I realised nearby, there were sirens
Singing sailors to their dooms

We filled our ears with beeswax
That's how we resist your song
You pretended to be my wife, so I just played along
I read your lips and phrases
Scanning for information
Sirens know about every route and horizon
Now I know how to get back to my island

We are a different beast now
We are the ones who feast now
No more of us decease, 'cause we won't take more suffering from you
We are the man-made monsters
We are the ones who conquer
You are a threat no longer
We won't take more suffering from you

Spare us
Oh, spare us please

Why?
So you can kill the next group of sailors in this part of the sea?
Nah, you wouldn't have spared me
I made a mistake like this and almost cost my life
I can't take more risks of not seeing my wife
Cut off their tails! We're ending this now
Throw their bodies back in the water
Let them drown

No

He is a different beast now
He is the one who feasts now
No more of us deceased, 'cause he won't take more suffering from you
He is the man-made monster
He is the one who conquers
You are a threat no longer
He won't take more suffering from you

Kill them all
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh
Kill them all
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh
Kill them all
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh
Kill 'em all
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh
Odysseus

[ODYSSEUS]
The lair of Scylla
This is our only way home

[SCYLLA]
Deep down

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
You're quiet today.

[SCYLLA]
Deep down

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Not much to say...

[ALL]
Deep down

[SCYLLA]
You hide a reason for shame

[EURYLOCHUS]
I've got a secret I can no longer keep

[SOLDIERS]
Deep down

[SCYLLA]
You know that we are the same

[EURYLOCHUS]
I opened the wind bag while you were asleep

[SCYLLA]
Leaving them feeling betrayed
Breaking the bonds that you've made

[EURYLOCHUS]
I'm so sorry

[SCYLLA]
There is no price we won't pay

[EURYLOCHUS]
Forgive me

[SCYLLA]
We both know what it takes to survive

[SOLDIERS]
Full speed ahead, full speed, full speed ahead
Full speed ahead

[ALL]
Deep down

[SCYLLA]
We only care for ourselves

[ODYSSEUS]
Eurylochus, light up six torches

[SCYLLA]
Deep down, we're lonely demons from hell

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
Captain! Something approaches!

[SCYLLA, spoken]
Hello...

[ODYSSEUS]
Row for your lives!

[SCYLLA]
Drown in your sorrow and fears
Choke on your blood and your tears
Bleed til you've run out of years
We must do what it takes to survive

Give up your honor and faith
Live up your life as a wraith
Die in the blood where you bathe
We must do what it takes to survive

[SCYLLA & ODYSSEUS]
We are the same, you and I, I

[EURYLOCHUS]
Tell me you did not know that would happen
Say you didn't know how that would end
Look me in the eyes and tell me, Captain
That you did not just sacrifice six men?

Use your wits to try and say I'm crazy and mad
That this is all some trick the gods have sent
Tell me you did not miss home so painfully bad
That you gave up the lives of six of our friends?

When we fought the cyclops, you were quick to hatch a plan
And when we fought with Circe, it was you who left behind no man
But when we fought this monster, we didn't take a stand
We just ran
Say something!

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
I can't!!

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
Then you have forced my hand...

[SOLDIERS]
Eurylochus

[ODYSSEUS]
Lower your weapon

[EURYLOCHUS]
No can do
You miss your wife so bad you trade the lives of your own crew

[ODYSSEUS]
Don't make me fight you, brother, you know you'd have done the same

[EURYLOCHUS]
If you want all the power, you must carry all the blame

[SOLDIERS]
Eurylochus, Eurylochus, Eurylochus
Odysseus, Odysseus, Odysseus
There is no price he won't pay

[ODYSSEUS]
I am not letting you get in my way
My brothers, why?

[PERIMEDES & SOLDIERS]
How are we supposed to trust you now?
Now your time has come, your luck's run out
Now, the time has come to shut you down
You relied on wit and then we died on it
Woah-oh-oh

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Agh, my head...
Where are we?

[EURYLOCHUS]
Some island, the first one we found
It's bursting with cows just roaming around
Begging us to eat, so much meat
And hunger is so heavy
This statue
The God of the Sun
Don't know where it's from
But here's where we found all these cows to hunt
Right in front
And hunger is so heavy

[SOLDIERS]
Hunger is so heavy

[ODYSSEUS]
Please don't tell me you're about to do what I think you'll do

[EURYLOCHUS]
Ody, we're never gonna get to make it home
You know it's true

[ODYSSEUS]
You don't know that's true
This is the home of the Sun God

[EURYLOCHUS]
I'm starving my friend

[ODYSSEUS]
But if you kill his cattle, who knows what he'll send?
This is the home of the Sun God

[EURYLOCHUS]
I'm tired, my friend

[ODYSSEUS]
But we're so close to home, this can't be where it ends

[EURYLOCHUS & ODYSSEUS]
How much longer must I suffer now?
Please don't do this
How much longer must I push through doubt?
I need to get home
How much longer must we go about
Eurylochus
My life like this when people die like this?
Woah

[EURYLOCHUS & SOLDIERS, ODYSSEUS]
How much longer must we suffer now?
Reconsider
How much longer must we push through doubt?
We can get home
How much longer must we go about
Eurylochus
Our lives like this when people die like this?
Woah

[EURYLOCHUS]
I'm just a man

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Eurylochus, NO!!!

You've doomed us...
YOU'VE DOOMED US ALL, EURYLOCHUS!!!

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
Captain?

[ODYSSEUS]
We need to get away from this island now!
Grab an oar with all the strength your arms allow!
These cows were immortal! They were the Sun God's friends!
And now that we've pissed them off, WHO DO YOU THINK HE'LL SEND?!

[SOLDIERS]
Full speed ahead
Full speed ahead

[ODYSSEUS]
Faster!

[SOLDIERS]
Full speed ahead

[ODYSSEUS]
Faster!

[SOLDIERS]
Full speed ahead

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
...We're too late.

[ZEUS]
Pride is a damsel in distress
Hiding away where only I can undress her
Try all she can not to confess
In the end, it's all the same once I apply all the pressure

Thunder, bring her through the wringer,
Show her I'm the judgment call
The one who makes her kingdom fall
Lightning, wield her, use and yield her,
Show her what she can't conceal
For true nature will be revealed

Tell me, Odysseus
If I were to make you choose
The lives of your men and crew or your own
Why do I think they'd lose?
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

Thunder Bringer, here to ring your
Ears until you're deaf with fear and
Spear you while your death is near
Lighting wielder, here to yield your
Time for you have passed your prime
Sublime you for your act of crime

[ZEUS, spoken]
Choose.

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Choose?

[ZEUS]
Someone's got to die today
And you have got the final say
You?
Or your crew?

[ODYSSEUS]
Please don't make me do this
Don't make me do this

[SOLDIERS]
When does a comet become a meteor?
When does a candle become a blaze?

[PENELOPE]
I can take the suffering from you

[SOLDIERS]
When does a man become a monster?
When does a ripple become a tidal wave?
When does the reason become the blame?
When does a man become a monster?

[PENELOPE]
Let me take the suffering from...

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
...Captain?

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
I have to see her.

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
...But we'll die.

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
...I know.

[ZEUS]
Thunder, bring her through the wringer
Show her I'm the judgment call
The one who makes her kingdom fall
Lightning, wield her, use and yield her
Show her what she can't conceal
For true nature will be revealed
