God Games Father, God King Rarely do I ask for favors Now, I'm knocking on your door With hopes to save a friendship with one who's a prisoner far from home Odysseus Divine intervention, is that what you seek? To untie apprehensions that were placed on that Greek? You are playing with thunder for a man full of shame But if he's worth the risk of going under, why not make it a game? Convince each of them that he ought to be released, and I'll release him Who's them? Apollo, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Ares, Hera, or me What do you say? Great Very well Eh Alright Groovy Bring it Apollo! You all know I'm a fan of catchy songs So with so many sirens gone, I think Ody's in the wrong They were trying to do him worse All he did was reimburse them Now they'll tread with caution first To live another day and sing another verse If that's true, release him Hephaestus! Trust is not given, it's forged Why should I give him my support? He sacrificed his own cohort Did you forget they failed to listen? He was betrayed and then imprisoned But if you make the right decision He can still build a future with those who miss him Fine, release him Aphrodite Your little high and mighty Odysseus Claims to love his mother But let her die of a broken heart He was busy fighting More like busy spiting the cyclops Let him feel the pain that his mother felt and rot Wait, please reconsider this Really Athena? These old tricks? Ares! Ares, Ares What kind of sick coward Holds back his power While his friends get devoured? He didn't even fight Scylla Didn't even try to kill her Hides inside a wooden horse to get the job done Never handles things upfront Pathetic and weak like his son Hold your tongue now His son's my friend And tell your lover that a broken heart can mend You want more bloodshed? Then set him free To get back to his homestead, he'll make everybody bleed Ugh, release him Hey baby Hera! So many heroes So many tales Give me one good reason why yours should prevail He's got the mind of a genius Try harder He's pretty skilled with words You can do better than that He's kind of funny? Eh Never once has he cheated on his wife Release him I've played your game and won Release him You dare to defy me? To make me feel shame? No one beats me, no one wins my game! Thunder, bring her through the wringer Show her I'm the judgement call The one who makes her kingdom fall! Is she dead? Let him go, please Let him go
