Just a man – Jorge Rivera-Herrans Letra, Lyrics:

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 know
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 candlе become a blaze
Whеn 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?

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)

I’m just a man

Full Speed Ahead – Jorge Rivera-Herrans Letra, Lyrics:

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 waiting for me
So full speed ahead
Full speed ahead

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 depleted)
Six hundred men (six hundred men)
Six hundred reasons to take what we can
So captain, what’s the plan?
(Captain, what’s the plan?)

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, full speed ahead

We’re up, we’re off, and away we go
We’re up, we’re off, and away we go
We’re up, we’re off, and away we go

Captain
Polites!

Look! 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?

Something feels off here
I see fire but there’s no smoke

I say we strike first, we don’t have time to waste
So let’s raid the place and-

No
Polites gear up, you and I’ll go ahead
You and I’ll go ahead
We should try to find a way no one ends up dead
We don’t know what’s ahead

Give me till 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

Polyphemus – Jorge Rivera-Herrans Letra, Lyrics:

Over here!
Look at all this food, look at all these sheep
I can’t believe this cave has all this for us to keep
I’ve gotta hand it to you both, this is quite the treat
There are enough sheep here to feed the entire fleet

It’s almost too perfect, too good to be true
Why would the lotus eaters pass up on all this food?
Who are you?

Hey there
We’re just travellers
We come in peace

You killed my sheep
My favouritе sheep
What gives you the right to deal a pain so deep
Don’t you know that pain you sow is pain you rеap?

Time to drink
Your blood over where you stand
Your life now is in my hand
Before I’m done
You will learn that it’s not so fun to take
You came to my home to steal
But now you’ll become my meal
A trade, you see?
Take from you like you took from me

There’s been a misunderstanding
We never came here to steal
But now that I see we’ve done some damage
Maybe you and I could make a deal
I’ll give you our finest treasure
So long as we leave alive
You can keep the world’s best tasting wine

Wine?
Have a drink
One sip and you’ll understand
The power that’s in your hands
A wine so fresh
You’d never wanna eat human flesh again
Then we shall be on our way
No bloodshed in here today
A trade, you see?
A gift from you and a gift from me

Ah, I’d like to thank you
Stranger, what’s your name?
My name is Nobody, Nobody, Nobody
Nobody, for your gift I’ve one to reply
I’m so glad we see eye to eye
Yes, you shall be the final man to die
What?
Watch out!

Survive – Jorge Rivera-Herrans Letra, Lyrics:

My brothers
The rest of our fleet
They wait at the beach
And if we’re defeated, they’re good as dead
Straight ahead, that is who we’re fighting

No backup, no chance for support
So draw out your swords
Our foe must be thwarted right here and now
Show me how great is your will to survive

Six hundred lives at stake
It’s just one life to take
And when we kill him then our journey’s over
No dying on me now
Defeat is not allowed
We must live through this day so
Fight, fight, fight

Surround him, surround him
Attack from behind, keep distance in mind
And stay in his blindspot and strike his heels, strike the heels
Show him that we’re deadly

Exhaust him, exhaust him
Don’t let him get close, he’s strong but he’s slow
He can’t land a blow if we’re out of reach
Find a breach
Stand up and fight for your lives

Six hundred lives at stake
It’s just one life to take
And when we kill him then our journey’s over
Push forward
No dying on us now
Defeat is not allowed
We must live through this day so
Fight, fight, fight

Captain
Enough
He’s got a club
He’s got a club!
What are our orders?
Captain? Captain!

You’ve hurt me enough
Six hundred lives I’ll take
Six hundred lives I’ll break
And when I kill you then my pain is over
You’re dying here and now
Escape is not allowed
You won’t live through this day now die
Die

Remember Them – Jorge Rivera-Herrans Letra, Lyrics:

Captain!
Captain!
Captain!

We must move quickly, we don’t have much time
He didn’t notice I mixed lotus in his wine
Mark my words now, this is not the end
But captain, what’ll we do with our fallen friends?

Remember them
When the fire begins to fade
For the fallen and frayed
We are not to let them die in vain
Remember them
We’re the ones who carry on
The flames of those who’ve gone
And our comrades will not die in vain

I need all our hands on his club
This is how we’re getting out of here
Use your swords to sharpen the stub
And turn it to a giant spear
Let’s kill him!

His body is blocking the path
If we kill him we’ll be stuck inside
Captain, where do we attack him?
We gotta stab him in the eye

Yes sir
Remember them
When the fire begins to fade
For the fallen and frayed
We are not to let them die in vain

Remember them
We’re the ones who carry on
The flames of those who’ve gone
And our comrades will not die in vain

Now!
Scatter!
Who hurts you?
There are more of them?
Who hurts you?
Hide
Who hurts you?
Captain, we should run
Wait
Who hurts you?
Captain, please
Wait
It was Nobody, Nobody
If nobody hurts you, be silent
Don’t go!
Let’s grab the sheep and away we go

Have you forgotten the lessons I taught you?
He’s still a threat until he’s dead
Finish it

No
No?

What good would killing do
When mercy is a skill more of this world could learn to use
My friend is dead, our foe is blind
The blood we shed, it never dries
Is this what it means to be a warrior of the mind?
Don’t!

Hey, Cyclops!
When we met, I led with peace
While you fed your inner beast
But my comrades will not die in vain

Remember them
The next time that you dare choose not to spare
Remember them
Remember us
Remember me

I’m the reigning king of Ithaca
I am neither man nor mythical
I am your darkest moment
I am the infamous
Odysseus
