  Cm
A vision of what is to come,
    Cm
can not be outrun, can only be dealt with
      Abmaj7
right here and now (Tell me how)
G7
I don't think you're ready

A mission to kill someone's son,

             Eb                  Bb
It's just an infant, it's just a boy, what sort of
Cm                                          Bb
imminent threat does he pose that I can not avoid?
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
--- ZEUS, (SOLDIERS) ---
Bb
This is the son of none other than
Ab                     Cm/G
Troy's very own prince Hector, know that he will
Ab/F                   Cm/Eb
grow from a boy to an avenger, One fuelled with
Ab                           Cm
rage as you're consumed with age, if you don't end him
Gsus                           G7
now you'll have no one left to save, you can say goodbye to
Abmaj7 Gm/Bb
(Penelope), You can say goodbye to
Abmaj7 G7
(Penelope)
 
[Chorus 3]
--- ODYSSEUS, (ZEUS) ---
                        Cm
I could raise him as my own
         Ab        Bb
(He will burn your house and throne)
            Gm            Cm
Or send him far away from home
                Ab   Bb
(He'll find you wherever you go)
              Gm
Make sure his past is never known
     Abmaj7    Bbadd9  Cm
(The gods will make it known)
           Gm
I'd rather bleed for ya
(They’re bringing you down on your knees for ya)
Abmaj7      Bbadd9      Cm
  I’m on my knees for ya, I'm begging please
                Gm           Abmaj7    Bbadd9
(Oh, this is the will of the gods)

--- ODYSSEUS, (ZEUS) ---
Cm                           Gm
Please don't make me do this, don't make me do this
     Abmaj7                           Bbadd9
(The blood on your hands is something you won't lose)
Gsus                   G7
(All you can choose is whose)
              Alright, my brothers, listen closely
Tonight we make the Trojans pay
Ten years of war, they've killed us slowly
But now we'll be the ones who slay
Think of your wives and your children
Your families wonder where you've been
They're growing old and yet you're still here
Do what I say and you'll see them again
Yes, sir

Diomedes will lead the charge
Agamemnon will flank the guards
Menelaus will let our men through the gates
To take the whole city at large
Teucer will shoot any ambush attack
And Little Ajax will stay back
Nestor, secure Helen and protect her
Neo, avenge your father, kill the brothers of Hector
Yes, sir

Find that inner strength now
Use that well of pride
Fight through every pain now
Ask yourself inside
What do you live for?
What do you try for?
What do you wish for?
What do you fight for?

What do you live for?
What do you try for?
What do you wish for?
What do you fight for?

Penelope
Penelope
And Telemachus
I fight for us
I fight for us
(What do you live for?)
Penelope
(What do you try for?)
Telemachus
(What do you wish for?)
I am on my way
(What do you fight for?)
Attack

Who was that?

A vision
Of what is to come, cannot be outrun
Can only be dealt with right here and now

Tell me how

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

Say no more, I know that I'm ready

I don't think you're ready

It's just an infant
It's just a boy
What sort of imminent threat does he pose, that I cannot avoid?

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 fueled with rage as you're consumed by age
If you don't end him now, you'll have no one left to save
You can say goodbye to
(Penelope)
You can say goodbye to
(Penelope)

I could raise him as my own (he will burn your house and throne)
Or end him far away from home (he'll find you wherever you go)
Make sure his past is never known (the gods will make him know)
I'd rather bleed for you (they're bringing you) 
I'm on my knees for you (down on your knees for you)
I'm begging, please (oh, this is the will of the gods)

Please don't make me do this, don't make me do this

The blood on your hands is something you won't lose

All you can choose is whose
