[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

Lightning 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 gotta die today

And you have got the final say

[ZEUS, spoken]

You? Or your crew?

[ODYSSEUS]

Please don't make me do this

Don't make me do this

[CREW, PENELOPE]

When does a comet become a meteor?

When does a candle become a blaze?

I can take the suffering from you

When does a man become a monster?

When does a ripple become a tidal wave?

When does the reason become the blame?

Let me take the suffering from—

When does a man become a monster?

[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
