Thunder Bringer Lyrics

[ZEUS, spoken]
Choose

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Choose?


[ZEUS, sung]
Someone's gotta die today
And you have got the final say

(spoken)
You?
Or your crew?

[ODYSSEUS, sung]
Please don't make me do this
Don't make me do this


[SOLDIERS, Penelope]
When does a comet become a meteor?
When does a candle become a blaze?
(I can take the suffering from you)
When does a man become a monster?
When does a ripple become a tidal wave?
When does the reason become the blame? (Let me take the suffering from)
When does a man become a monster?

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
Captain?
[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
I have to see her

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
But we'll die

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
I know


[ZEUS, sung]
Thunder, bring her through the wringer
Show her I'm the judgment call
The one who makes her kingdom fall
Lightning, wield her, use and yield her
Show her what she can't conceal
For true nature will be revealed
