Tekst piosenki: Jorge Rivera-Herrans - God Games
ATHENA
Father, God King
Rarely do I ask for favors
Now, I'm knocking on your door
With hopes to save a friendship with one who's a prisoner far from home
Odysseus
ZEUS
Divine intervention, is that what you seek?
To untie apprehensions that were placed on that Greek?
You are playing with thunder for a man full of shame
But if he's worth the risk of going under, why not make it a game?
Convince each of them that he ought to be released, and I'll release him
ATHENA
Who's them?
ZEUS
Apollo, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Ares, Hеra, or me
What do you say?
APOLLO
Great
HEPHAESTUS
Very wеll
APHRODITE
Eh
ARES
Alright
HERA
Groovy
ATHENA
Bring it
ENSEMBLE
Apollo!
APOLLO
You all know I'm a fan of catchy songs
So with so many sirens gone, I think Ody's in the wrong
ATHENA
They were trying to do him worse
All he did was reimburse with them
Now they'll tread with caution first
To live another day and sing another verse
APOLLO
If that's true, release him
ENSEMBLE
Hephaestus!
HEPHAESTUS
Trust is not given, it's forged
Why should I give him my support?
He sacrificed his own cohort
ATHENA
Did you forget they failed to listen?
He was betrayed and then imprisoned
But if you make the right decision
He can still build a future with those who miss him
HEPHAESTUS
Fine, release him
ENSEMBLE
Aphrodite
APHRODITE
Your little high and mighty Odysseus
Claims to love his mother
But let her die of a broken heart
ATHENA
He was busy fighting
APHRODITE
More like busy spiting the cyclops
Let him feel the pain that his mother felt and rot
ATHENA
Wait, please reconsider this
ARES
Really Athena? These old tricks?
ATHENA
Ares!
ENSEMBLE
Ares, Ares
ARES
What kind of sick coward
Holds back his power
While his friends get devoured?
He didn't even fight Scylla
Didn't even try to kill her
Hides inside a wooden horse to get the job done
Never handles things upfront
Pathetic and weak like his son
ATHENA
Hold your tongue now
His son's my friend
And tell your lover that a broken heart can mend
You want more bloodshed?
Then set him free
To get back to his homestead, he'll make everybody bleed
APHRODITE & ARES
Ugh, release him
HERA
Hey baby
ENSEMBLE
Hera!
HERA
So many heroes
So many tales
Give me one good reason why yours should prevail
ATHENA
He's got the mind of a genius
HERA
Try harder
ATHENA
He's pretty skilled with words
HERA
You can do better than that
ATHENA
He's kind of funny?
HERA
Eh
ATHENA
Never once has he cheated on his wife
HERA
Release him
ATHENA
I've played your game and won
Release him
ZEUS
You dare to defy me?
To make me feel shame?
No one beats me, no one wins my game!
ZEUS & ENSEMBLE
Thunder, bring her through the wringer
Show her I'm the judgement call
The one who makes her kingdom fall!
ARES
Is she dead?
Instrumental
ATHENA
Let him go, please
Let him go
