LYRICS
[ODYSSEUS]
These waves and tides have grown in strength and size
Is it nature or divine or a blessing in disguise?
Our home's in sight, this storm's our final fight
There's no time to die
[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Comrades!
[CREW, spoken]
Sir!
[ODYSSEUS, CREW]
Brace for a storm (Storm)
The likes of which we've never seen before
Brace for a storm (Storm)
With home so close, we must keep pushing forward
[SOLDIERS]
Full speed ahead!
[ODYSSEUS]
Head towards the island but avoid the crashing waves
Tread where the tide is flat and then you will be safе
[EURYLOCHUS]
Captain, we will capsize with these waves, our fleet will fail
[ODYSSEUS, CREW]
Have them follow my ship, I'll ensure that we prevail
Storm (Storm)
[EURYLOCHUS]
We're taking too much damage to survive
[ODYSSEUS, CREW]
We'll beat this storm (Storm)
[EURYLOCHUS]
At this rate, we won't make it out alive
[PERIMEDES & ELPENOR, spoken]
Captain, look!
[ODYSSEUS & EURYLOCHUS]
An island in the sky...
[ODYSSEUS]
Eurylochus grab the harpoons.
As many as you can find.
[EURYLOCHUS]
What do you have in mind?
[ODYSSEUS]
We're gonna shoot for the sky.
[EURYLOCHUS]
What?
[CREW]
Storm! Storm!
[ODYSSEUS]
Everyone grab a harpoon and aim it high!

Storm! Storm!

We're shooting for the island in the sky!
In the sky!

[EURYLOCHUS]
Please don't tell me you're about to do
What I think you'll do
[ODYSSEUS]
You've heard the legends of the island in the sky
this proves they're true
We're in the home of the wind god
[EURYLOCHUS]
We don't know for sure
[ODYSSEUS]
How many floating islands have you seen before?
This is the home of the wind god
[EURYLOCHUS]
And what's your plan?
[ODYSSEUS]
I'm gonna climb to the top and ask him for a hand
[EURYLOCHUS]
You could be caught off guard and lose your life
Or piss off this god and infuse us with strife
Don't forget how dangerous the gods are
[ODYSSEUS]
Have faith, friend, we've come this far
[EURYLOCHUS & CREW]
Yes, but how much longer til your luck runs out?
How much longer til the show goes south?
How much longer til we all fall down?
You rely on wit, and people die on it, woah
[ODYSSEUS]
I still believe in goodness
I still believe that we could be kind
Lead from the heart, and see what starts
[EURYLOCHUS]
And what will we do when it tears us apart?
[ODYSSEUS]
Where is this coming from, my friend?
[EURYLOCHUS]
I just don't wanna see another life end
You're like the brother I could never do without
[ODYSSEUS]
And suddenly you doubt that I could figure this out?
[EURYLOCHUS & CREW]
Captain, how much longer til your luck runs out?
How much longer til the show goes south?
How much longer til we all fall down?
You rely on wit, and people die on it, woah
How much longer til the snake breaks free?
How much longer til your great days cease?
How much longer til your strength takes leave?
You rely on wit, and people die on it, woah
[ODYSSEUS]
Thank you for the concern but brother I can assure you
Our journey is almost done
I understand that we're tired
I understand that we're fazed
But don't forget how much we've already faced
I took 600 men to war and not one of them died there
In case you needed a reminder
If you'd like to speak more, let me pull you aside then
I need to talk to you in private
I can't have you planting seeds of doubt
I can't have you disagreeing each route
I need you to always be devout and comply with this
Or we'll all die in this
Okay?
[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
Okay...
[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Thank you!

[ODYSSEUS]
Great Wind God Aeolus
I don't know if you know this
But our path to home is blocked by an impenetrable storm
I ask for your assistance
So we at last can go the distance
Can you cast the perfect winds for us and aid our journey home?
[AEOLUS]
Ha ha ha
I am the wind, twisting and turning
I give the fire enough to stay burning
Let's play a game
[ODYSSEUS]
A game?
[AEOLUS]
That's what I'm serving
And if you win, you will get what you're yearning
[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Deal!
[AEOLUS]
Take a look right here at this bag
It has the winds of the storm all trapped
All you gotta do is not open this bag
[ODYSSEUS]
Sounds too easy, what's the catch?
[AEOLUS, WINIONS]
Ha ha ha!
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never rеally know who you can trust
If they wanna get the bag open, you gotta say "no, sir"
Sometimes killing is a must
[ODYSSEUS]
What?
[AEOLUS]
Cause the end always justifies the means
Friends turn into foes in rivalries
So keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust
[PERIMEDES & ELPENOR]
Captain! What's happening?
What's trapped in that bag?
[ODYSSEUS]
Something dangerous, friends!
We mustn't lag!
[WINIONS]
It's treasure!
[ODYSSEUS]
What?
[WINIONS]
Buh-bye!
[PERIMEDES]
Open the bag!
[ELPENOR]
Let's see what you got!
[ODYSSEUS]
No, do not!
Everybody listen closely
See how the bag is closed?
That's how it's supposed to be
This bag has the storm inside!
We cannot let the treasure rumor fly!
[PERIMEDES & ELPENOR]
We'll try!
[AEOLUS, CREW & WINIONS]
Keep your friends and your enemies closer!
Never really know who you can trust!
Now they wanna get the bag open so they can have closure!
Sometimes, sneaking is a must!
Cause the end always justifies the means
Everything's changed since Polites, so!
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer!
Never really know who you can trust!
[ODYSSEUS, CREW]
For nine days, I've stayed wide awake
Tryna make it home with no storm or tidal wave
I remain unopposed, the bag is still closed
And I'm getting closer to you...
Penelope
I can't wait to make some new memories...
Telemachus
Time for me to be the father I never was
[ODYSSEUS, PENELOPE & TELEMACHUS]
Just keep your eyes open
Why are my eyes and my heart and my soul so heavy
Just keep your eyes open
I keep on trying to embrace you both, why won't you let me
Just keep your eyes open
So much has changed, but I'm the same, yes I'm the same
'Just keep your eyes open'
[CREW]
Keep your eyes open
4. RUTHLESSNESS
4. RUTHLESSNESS
Ruthlessness is the fourth and final song of The Ocean Saga in EPIC: The Musical. In this intense song, Poseidon appears to exact revenge on Odysseus and his crew for hurting his son, Polyphemus.

A snippet of the melody that later appears in Charybdis is played as a trumpet line in the second verse.

[POSEIDON]
In all my years of living
It isn't very often that I get pissed off
I try to chill with the waves
But damn, you've crossed the line
I've been so gracious
And yet, you hurt the son of mine
That's right, the cyclops you made blind, is mine
[ODYSSEUS]
No
[POSEIDON, LAESTRYGONIANS]
I'm left without a choice
And without a doubt
Guess the pack of wolves is swimming with the shark now
I've gotta make you bleed
I need to see you drown
But before you go, I need to make you learn how
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ruthlessness is mеrcy upon ourselves
Ourselvеs
You are the worse kind of good
Cause you're not even great
A greek who reeks of false righteousness
That's what I hate
Cause you fight to save lives
But won't kill and don't get the job done
I mean you totally could have avoided all this
Had you just killed my son
But no
You are far too nice
Mercy has a price
It's the final crack we're about to break the ice now
You reveal your name
Then you let him live
Unlike you I've got no mercy left to give cause
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ourselves
And now it is finally time
To say goodbye
Today, you die
Unless, of course, you apologize
For my son's pain
And all his cries
[ODYSSEUS]
Poseidon, we meant no harm
We only hurt him to disarm him
We took no pleasure in his pain
We only wanted to escape
[POSEIDON]
The line between naïveté and
Hopefulness is almost invisible
So close your heart
The world is dark and
[POSEIDON & LAESTRYGONIANS]
Ruthlessness is mercy-
[POSEIDON]
Die
[LAESTRYGONIANS, CREW]
Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- Captain
Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- Captain
Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- Captain
Ruthlessness is
[ODYSSEUS]
What have you done?
[CREW]
When does a ripple become a tidal wave?
[POSEIDON]
Forty-three left under your command
[CREW]
When does man become a monster?
[POSEIDON]
I am your darkest moment
The monster that always draws near
Any last words?
[ODYSSEUS]
All I gotta do is open this bag
[POSEIDON]
What?
Remember me
