EPIC: The Ocean Saga Musical Lyrics






Jorge Rivera-Herrans - Storm


[ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS]
These waves and tides
Have grown in strength and size
Is it nature, or divine
Or a blessing in disguise?
Our home's in sight
This storm's our final fight
There's no time to die, comrades
Sir!!!
Brace for a storm
Storm
The likes of which we've never seen before
Brace for a storm
Storm
With home so close, we must keep pushing forward
Full speed ahead
Head towards the island but avoid the crashing waves
Tread where the tide is flat and then you will be savеd

[EURYLOCHUS]
Captain, we will capsize with thesе waves, our fleet will fail

[ODYSSEUS]
Have them follow my ship, I'll ensure that we prevail
Storm

[SOLDIERS]
Storm

[EURYLOCHUS]
We're taking too much damage to survive

[ODYSSEUS]
We'll beat this storm

[SOLDIERS]
Storm

[EURYLOCHUS]
At this rate, we won't make it out alive

[PERIMEDES & ELPENOR]
Captain, look!!!

[ODYSSEUS & EURYLOCHUS]
An island in the sky...

[ODYSSEUS]
Eurylochus grab the harpoons.
As many as you can find.

[EURYLOCHUS]
What do you have in mind?

[ODYSSEUS]
We're gonna shoot for the sky.

[EURYLOCHUS]
What?

[SOLDIERS]
Storm! Storm!

[ODYSSEUS]
Everyone grab a harpoon and aim it high!

[SOLDIERS]
Storm! Storm!

[ODYSSEUS]
We're shooting for the island in the sky!
In the sky!

Jorge Rivera-Herrans - Luck Runs Out


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

[ODYSSEUS]
You've heard the legends of the island in the sky, this proves they're true
We're in the home of the wind god

[EURYLOCHUS]
We don't know for sure

[ODYSSEUS]
How many floating islands have you seen before?
This is the home of the wind god

[EURYLOCHUS]
And what's your plan?

[ODYSSEUS]
I'm gonna climb to the top and ask 'em for a hand

[EURYLOCHUS]
You could be caught off guard and lose your life
Or piss off this god and cause a lot of strife
Don't forget how dangerous the gods are

[ODYSSEUS]
Have faith, friend, we've come this far

[EURYLOCHUS & CREW]
Yes, but how much longer til your luck runs out?
How much longer til the show goes south?
How much longer til we all fall down?
You rely on wit, and people die on it, woah

[ODYSSEUS]
I still believe in goodness
I still believe that we can be kind
Lead from the heart, and see what starts

[EURYLOCHUS]
And what will we do when it tears us apart?

[ODYSSEUS]
Where is this coming from, my friend?

[EURYLOCHUS]
I just don't wanna see another life end
You're like the brother I could never do without

[ODYSSEUS]
And suddenly you doubt that I could figure this out?

[EURYLOCHUS & CREW]
Captain, how much longer til your luck runs out?
How much longer til the show goes south?
How much longer til we all fall down?
You rely on wit, and people die on it, woah

How much longer til the snake breaks free?
How much longer til your great days cease?
How much longer til your strength takes leave?
You rely on wit, and people die on it, woah

[ODYSSEUS]
Thank you for the concern but brother I can assure you
Our journey is almost done
I understand that we're tired
I understand that we're fazed
But don't forget how much we've already faced
I took 600 men to war and not one of them died there
In case you needed a reminder
If you'd like to speak more, let me pull you aside then
I need to talk to you in private

I can't have you planting seeds of doubt
I can't have you disagreeing each route
I need you to always be devout and comply with this
Or we'll all die in this
Okay?

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
Okay

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Thank you

Jorge Rivera-Herrans - Keep Your Friends Close


Great wind god, Aeolus
I don't know if you know this
But our path to home is blocked by an impenetrable storm
I ask for your assistance
So we at last can go the distance
Can you cast the perfect winds for us and aid our journey home?

Haha, ha
I am the wind, twisting and turning
I give the fire enough to stay burning
Let's play a game

A game?

That's what I'm serving
And if you win, you will get what you're yearning

Deal

Take a look right here at this bag
It has the winds of the storm all trapped
All you gotta do is not open this bag

Sounds too easy, what's the catch?

Haha, ha
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust
If they wanna get the bag open, you gotta say "no, sir"
Sometimes killing is a must

What?

'Cause the end always justifies the means
Friends turn into foes and rivalries
So keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust (never really know who you can trust)

Captain, what's happening?

What's trapped in that bag?

Something dangerous, friends
We mustn't lie

It's treasure

What?
Buh-bye

Open the bag

Let's see what you got

No, do not
Everybody listen closely
See how this bag is closed?
That's how it's supposed to be
This bag has the storm inside
We cannot let the treasure rumor fly

We'll try

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust
Never really know who you can trust
Now they wanna get the bag open so they can have closure
Sometimes sneaking is a must
Sometimes sneaking is a must
'Cause the end always justifies the means
Everything's changed since Polites, so
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust
Never really know who you can trust

For nine days, I've stayed wide awake
Trying to make it home with no storm or tidal wave
I remain unopposed, the bag is still closed
And I'm getting closer to you

Penelope

I can't wait to make some new memories

Telemachus

Time for me to be the father I never was

Just keep your eyes open

Why are my eyes and my heart and my soul so heavy?

Just keep your eyes open

I keep on trying to embrace you both
Why won't you let me?

Just keep your eyes open

So much has changed but I'm the same
Yes I'm the same

Just keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Wake up
Wake up, Odysseus, they're opening the bag
Wake up

No

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust
Never really know who you can trust
Storm
Full speed ahead

Where's the storm taking us?

I said to keep the bag closed, but you were incompliant
If I had to guess? You're heading to the

Land of the giants

Storm, storm

Help me close the bag

But sir, it's too late

We can save whatever wind is left to use another day
Come on

Odysseus of Ithaca
Do you know who I am?

Jorge Rivera-Herrans - Ruthlessness


[EPIC ENSEMBLE]
Poseidon, Poseidon
Poseidon, Poseidon
Poseidon, Poseidon
Poseidon
[ODYSSEUS]
Poseidon
[POSEIDON]
In all my years of living
It isn't very often that I get pissed off
I try to chill with the waves
But damn, you've crossed the line

I've been so gracious
And yet, you hurt the son of mine
That's right, the cyclops you made blind, is mine

[CREW]
No

[POSEIDON, LAESTRYGONIANS]
I'm left without a choice
And without a doubt
Guess the pack of wolves is swimming with the shark now
I've gotta make you bleed
I need to see you drown
But before you go, I need to make you learn how

Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ruthlessness is mеrcy upon ourselves
Ourselvеs

You are the worse kind of good
Cause you're not even great
A greek who reeks of false righteousness
That's what I hate

Cause you fight to save lives
But won't kill and don't get the job done
I mean you totally could have avoided all this
Had you just killed my son
But no

You are far too nice
Mercy has a price
It's the final crack we're about to break the ice now
You reveal your name
Then you let him live
Unlike you I've got no mercy left to give cause

Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ourselves

And now it is finally time
To say goodbye
Today, you die
Unless, of course, you apologize
For my son's pain
And all his cries

[ODYSSEUS]
Poseidon, we meant no harm
We only hurt him to disarm him
We took no pleasure in his pain
We only wanted to escape

[POSEIDON]
The line between naïveté and
Hopefulness is almost invisible
So close your heart
The world is dark and

[LAESTRYGONIANS]
Ruthlessness is mercy-

[POSEIDON]
Die

[LAESTRYGONIANS, SOLDIERS]
Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- Captain
Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- Captain
Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- Captain
Ruthlessness is

[ODYSSEUS]
What have you done?

[ENSEMBLE]
When does a ripple become a tidal wave?

[POSEIDON]
Forty three left under your command

[ENSEMBLE]
When does man become a monster?

[POSEIDON]
I am your darkest moment
The monster that always draws near
Any last words?

[ODYSSEUS]
All I gotta do is open this bag

[POSEIDON]
What?

Remember me
