The Underworld Saga Musical Lyrics






Jorge Rivera-Herrans - The Underworld


[ODYSSEUS]
Friends, Circe's instructions were clear
No matter what we hear

[CREW]
Full speed ahead

[ODYSSEUS]
Until we find the prophet
My comrades, this land confuses your mind
So no matter who we find

[CREW]
Full speed ahead, until we find the prophet

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Good

[ODYSSEUS, CREW]
All I hear are screams, every time I dare to close my eyes
I no longer dream, only nightmares of those who've died
Nothing's what it seems
Nothing's what it seems
And here in The Underworld, the past seems close behind
This land confuses your mind

[FALLEN SOLDIERS]
When does a man become a monster?
558 men who died under your command...
CAPTAIN!
CAPTAIN!
CAPTAIN!
CAPTAIN!
Why would you let the cyclops live when
Ruthlessness is mercy?

[ODYSSEUS, CREW, ALL]
All I hear are screams, every time I dare to close my eyes
I no longer dream, only nightmares of those who've died
Nothing's what it seems
Nothing's what it seems!
ALL: But in The Underworld, the past seems close behind
I keep thinking of the infant from that night...
I keep thinking of the infant from that night...

[POLITES]
This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Polites

[POLITES]
Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart
No matter the place, we can light up the world
Here's how to start:
Greet the world with open arms
Greet the world with open arms

[ODYSSEUS]
Polites...

[ANTICLEA]
Waiting

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
That voice, it can't be...

[ANTICLEA]
Waiting

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Mom?

[ANTICLEA, ODYSSEUS, BOTH]
Waiting
Odysseus, when you come home I'll be waiting
Even if you're the last thing I see, I'll be waiting I'm right here, mom
Waiting Can't you see? I'm
BOTH: Waiting

[ODYSSEUS, ANTICLEA]
I took too long
I'll always love you
And ventured too far
I'll stay in your heart
While you were

[BOTH]
Waiting, waiting, waiting

[ODYSSUES, spoken]
Bye, Mom...

[ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS]
All I hear are screams
All I hear are screams
Every time I dare to close my eyes
I no longer dream
I no longer dream
Only nightmares of those who've died
Nothing's what it seems
Nothing's what it seems
[ALL]
But in The Underworld, your past is always close behind
Your past is always close behind
Down in The Underworld

Jorge Rivera-Herrans - No Longer You

[ Featuring Mason Olshavsky ]

[TIRESIAS]
I am the prophet with the answers you seek
Time, I've unlocked it
I see past and future running free
There is a world where I help you get home
But that's not a world I know

[ODYSSEUS]
What?

[TIRESIAS]
I see a song of past romance
I see the sacrifice of man
I see portrayals of betrayals
And a brother's final stand
I see you on the brink of death
I see you draw your final breath
I see a man who gets to make it home alive
But it's no longer you

[ODYSSEUS]
This can't be
We've suffered and sailed through the toughest of hells
Now you tell us our effort's for nothing?!

[TIRESIAS]
I see your palace covered in red
Faces of men who had long believed you're dead
I see your wife with a man who is haunting
A man with a trail of bodies

[ODYSSEUS]
WHO?!

[TIRESIAS]
I see a song of past romance
I see the sacrifice of man
I see portrayals of betrayals
And a brother's final stand
I see you on the brink of death
I see you draw your final breath
I see a man who gets to make it home alive
But it's no longer you

Jorge Rivera-Herrans - Monster


[ODYSSEUS]
How has everything been turned against us?
How did suffering become so endless?
How am I to reunite with my estranged?
Do I need to change?

I'm surrounded by the souls of those I've lost
I'm the only whose line I haven't crossed
What if the greatest threat we'll find across the sea
Is me?

What if I'm the monster?
What if I'm in the wrong?
What if I'm the problem that's
Been hiding all along?
What if I'm the one who killed you
Every time I caved to guilt?
What if I've been far to kind to foes
But a monster to ourselves?
What if I'm the monster

Is the cyclops struck with guilt when he kills?
Is he up in the middle of the night?
Or does he end my men to avenge his friend
And then sleep knowing he has done him right?

When the witch turns men to pigs, to protect her nymphs
Is she going insane?
Or did she learn to be colder when she
Got older and now she saves them the pain?

When a god comes down and makes a fleet drown
Is he scared that he's doing something wrong?
Or does he keep us in check so we must respect him
And now no one dares to piss him off?

Does a soldier use a wooden horse to kill sleeping trojans cause he vile?
Or does he throw away his remorse and
Save more lives with guile

If I became the monster, and threw
That guilt away
Would that make us stronger?
Would it keep our foes at bay?
If I became the monster to everyone but us
And made sure we got home again
Who would care if we're unjust
If I became the

[SOLDIERS]
Monster

[ODYSSUS]
Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves

[SOLDIERS]
Monster

[ODYSSUS, CREW]
And deep down I know this well
I lost my best friend, I lost my mentor, my mom,
500 men gone, this can't go on!
I must get to see Penelope and Telemachus
So if we must sail through dangerous oceans and beaches,
I'll go where Poseidon won't reach us,
And if I got a drop another infant from a wall
In an instant so we all don't die
Then I'll become the!,
I'll deal the blow!
And I'll become the like none they've ever known!
So what if I'm the lurking deep below?
I must become the and then we'll make it home!

Monster
Penelope
Monster
Telemachus
Monster
Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Monster
I'll become the monster
