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
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
Who's them?
Apollo, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Ares, Hera, or me
What do you say?
Great
Very well
Eh
Alright
Groovy
Bring it
Apollo!
You all know I'm a fan of catchy songs
So with so many sirens gone, I think Ody's in the wrong
They were trying to do him worse
All he did was reimburse them
Now they'll tread with caution first
To live another day and sing another verse
If that's true, release him
Hephaestus!
Trust is not given, it's forged
Why should I give him my support?
He sacrificed his own cohort
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
Fine, release him
Aphrodite
Your little high and mighty Odysseus
Claims to love his mother
But let her die of a broken heart
He was busy fighting
More like busy spiting the cyclops
Let him feel the pain that his mother felt and rot
Wait, please reconsider this
Really Athena? These old tricks?
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
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
Ugh, release him
Hey baby
Hera!
So many heroes
So many tales
Give me one good reason why yours should prevail
He's got the mind of a genius
Try harder
He's pretty skilled with words
You can do better than that
He's kind of funny?
Eh
Never once has he cheated on his wife
Release him
I've played your game and won
Release him
You dare to defy me?
To make me feel shame?
No one beats me, no one wins my game!
Thunder, bring her through the wringer
Show her I'm the judgement call
The one who makes her kingdom fall!
Is she dead?
Let him go, please
Let him go
