Survive Lyrics

[ENSEMBLE]
Po-ly-phe-mus
Po-ly-phe-mus


[ODYSSEUS]
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


[ENSEMBLE]
Po-ly-phe-mus

[ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS]
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, ha, ha

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

[SOLDIERS, ODYSSEUS]
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

[POLITES, spoken]
Captain

[POLYPHEMUS, spoken]
Enough
