Lyrics: [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 (spoken) Why not make it a game? Convince each of them that he ought to be released And I'll release him [ATHENA, spoken] Who's them? [ZEUS, spoken] Apollo, Hephaestus Aphrodite, Arеs Hera or me What do you say? [APOLLO, spoken] Great [HEPHAESTUS, spoken] Vеry well [APHRODITE, spoken] Eh [ARES, spoken] Alright [HERA, spoken] Groovy [ATHENA, spoken] 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 them Now they'll tread with caution first To live another day and sing another verse [APOLLO, spoken] 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, spoken] 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, spoken] Wait [ATHENA] Please reconsider this [ARES] Really, Athena? These old tricks? [ATHENA, spoken] 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, spoken] Ugh, release him [HERA, spoken] 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, spoken] Eh [ATHENA, spoken] Never once has he cheated on his wife [HERA, spoken] Release him [ATHENA, spoken] I've played your game and won, release him [ZEUS] You dare to defy me, to make me feel shame? [ZEUS, spoken] 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, spoken] Is she dead? [Instrumental Interlude] [ATHENA] Let him go, please Let him go...
