Odysseus - Jorge Rivera-Herrans ft. Jamie Wiltshire, Dennis Diaz, Tristan Caldwell, MICO, Cast of EPIC: The Musical

For twenty years, I've suffered every punishment and pain

From the wrath of gods and monsters to the screams of comrades slain

I come back and find my palace desecrated, sacked like Troy

Worst of all, I hear you dare to touch my wife and hurt my boy

I have had enough

Odysseus, Odysseus

Odysseus, Ody—

In the heat of battle, at the edge of the unknown

Somewhere in the shadows lurks an agile, deadly foe

We have the advantage, we've the numbers and the might

No

You don't understand it, this man plans for every fight

Odysseus, Odysseus

Odysseus, Odysseus

Where is he? Where is he?

Keep your head down, he's aimin' for the torches

Our weapons, they're missing!

He's using the darkness to hide his approaches

We're empty handed, up against an archer

Our only chance is to strike him in the darkness

We know these halls, the odds can be tilted

You don't think I know my own palace? I built it

Odysseus, Odysseus

Odysseus, Odysseus

Old king, our leader is dead

You've destroyed the serpent's head

Now the rest of us are no longer a threat

Old king, forgive us instead

So that no more blood is shed

Let's have open arms instead

No

Odysseus, Odysseus

Odysseus, Odysseus

Damn, he's more cunning than I assumed

While we were busy plotting

He hid our weapons inside this room

I find it hard to believe that the sharpest of kings

Left his armory unlocked

So what?

Now that we have armed ourselves

Let's make the bastard rot

Behind you!

Throw down those weapons

And I ensure you'll be spared

After seeing what the king will do to us

We wouldn't dare

I don't wanna hurt you

But trust me, I've come prepared

Ha! Your very presence has doomed the king, young prince

We don't fight fair

Stop

Brothers, we got company and he's made a grave mistake

Left the weapons room unlocked, and now they're ours to take

Brothers, come and arm yourselves, there's a chance for us to win

We can still defeat the king if we all attack the prince

Where is he? Where is he?

Capture him, he's our greatest chance

Get off me, get off me

Fight 'til the prince can barely stand

Hold him down, hold him down

Make the king obey our commands

Hold him down, hold him down

'Cause if he won't, I'll break the kid's hands

Got him

Me-mer—

Mercy? Mercy?

My mercy has long since drowned

It died to bring me home

And as long as you're around

My family's fate is left unknown

You plotted to kill my son

You planned to rape my wife

All of you are going to die

Odysseus

You've filled my heart with hate

All of you, who have done me wrong

This will be your fate!

Odysseus
