What do you try for? What do you wish for? What do you fight for? [SOLDIERS] What do you live for? What do you try for? What do you wish for? What do you fight for?

[Thunder, an eagle cries] [ZEUS] A vision of what is to come, cannot be outrun Can only be dealt with right here and now [ODYSSEUS] Tell me how [ZEUS] I don't think you're ready A mission to kill someone's son, a foe who won't run Unlike anyone you have faced before [ODYSSEUS] Say no more, I know that I'm ready [ZEUS & GODS] I don't think you're ready [ODYSSEUS] It's just an infant, it's just a boy What sort of imminent threat does he pose That I cannot avoid? [ZEUS] This is the son of none other Than Troy's very own Prince Hector Know that he will grow from a boy to an avenger One fumed with rage as you're consumed by age [ZEUS & GODS] If you don't end him now, you'll have no one left to save [ZEUS] You can say goodbye to [GODS] Penelope [ZEUS] You can say goodbye to [GODS] Penelope [ODYSSEUS, ZEUS & GODS] I could raise him as my own He will burn your house and throne Or send him far away from home He'll find you wherever you go Make sure his past is never known The gods will make him known I'd rather bleed for ya, I'm on my knees for ya They're bringing you down on your knees for ya I'm beggin' please Oh, this is the will of the gods [ODYSSEUS] Please don't make me do this, don't make me do this [ZEUS] The blood on your hands is something you won't lose [ZEUS & ENSEMBLE] All you can choose is whose [notes and credits for next song]
JUST A MAN LYRICS: [ODYSSEUS] I look into your eyes and I Think back to the son of mine You're as old as he was when I left for war Will these actions haunt my days? Every man I've slain? Is the price I pay endless pain? Close your eyes and spare yourself the view How could I hurt you? I'm just a man who's trying to go home Even after all the years away from what I've known I'm just a man who's fighting for his life Deep down, I would trade the world to see my son and wife I'm just a man But when does a comet become a meteor? When does a candle become a blaze? When does a man become a monster? When does a ripple become a tidal wave? When does the reason become the blame? When does a man become a monster? [ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS] When does a comet become a meteor? When does a candle become a blaze? (Forgive me) When does a man become a monster? (Forgive me) When does a man become a monster? (Forgive me) [ODYSSEUS] I'm just a man ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FULL SPEED AHEAD LYRICS: [ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS, ODYSSEUS & SOLDIERS] Six hundred men Six hundred men under my command With only one goal in mind Make it back alive to our homeland Six hundred men, six hundred miles of open sea But the problem's not the distance It's what lies in between And Ithaca's waiting (Ithaca's waiting) My kingdom is waiting (The kingdom is waiting) Penelope's waitin' for me So full speed ahead, full speed ahead [EURYLOCHUS, SOLDIERS] Captain (Eurylochus) Six hundred men (Six hundred men) Six hundred men with big mouths to feed And we've run out of supplies to eat Curse the war, our food store's deplеted Six hundred men (Six hundrеd men) Six hundred reasons to take what we can So Captain, what's the plan? Captain, what's the plan? [ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS, ODYSSEUS & SOLDIERS] Watch where the birds fly (Watch where the birds fly) They will lead us to land (They will lead us to land) There we'll hunt for food, my second in command Now full speed ahead [EURYLOCHUS, EURYLOCHUS & SOLDIERS, ODYSSEUS] We're up, we're off, and away we go We're up, we're off, and away we go (Full speed ahead) We're up, we're off, and away we go [POLITES] Captain [ODYSSEUS] Polites [POLITES, spoken] Look! [POLITES] There in the distance, I see an island I see a light that faintly glows Maybe they're people lighting a fire Maybe they'll share some food, who knows? [ODYSSEUS] Something feels off here, I see fire but there's no smoke [EURYLOCHUS] I say we strike first, we don't have time to waste So let's raid the place and— [ODYSSEUS, spoken] No [ODYSSEUS] Polites, gear up, you and I'll go ahead [POLITES] You and I'll go ahead [ODYSSEUS] We should try to find a way no one ends up dead [EURYLOCHUS] We don't know what's ahead [ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS, ODYSSEUS & SOLDIERS] Give me 'til sunrise, and if we don't return Then six hundred men can make this whole place burn Now full speed ahead, full speed ahead Full speed ahead We're up, we're off, and away we go We're up, we're off, and away we go Full speed ahead We're up, we're off, and away we go We're up, we're off, and a— Full speed ahead
