Em                           Em
Father, God King, rarely do I ask for favors
         Em
Now, I'm knocking on your door
                      Am
With hopes to save a friendship

With one who's a prisoner far from home
        Em
Odysseus

                     Em
Divine intervention, is that what you seek?
Em                     Em
To untie apprehensions that were placed on that Greek?
Em                           D
You are playing with thunder for a man full of shame
Em                                  B
But if he's worth the risk of going under
(nc)
Why not make it a game?

So with so many sirens gone
        B
I think Ody's in the wrong
           C
(They were trying to do him worse)
        Am           D

Trust is not given, it's forged

Why should I give him my support?

He sacrificed his own cohort

Your little high and mighty Odysseus
Em                 Am                  C               B
Claims to love his mother, but let her die of a broken heart
        Em
(He was busy fighting)

More like busy spiting the cyclops

Em
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
                      C
Hides inside a wooden horse to get the job done
              D
Never handles things upfront
                           Em
Pathetic and weak like his son
D          C               D         Em
(Hold your tongue now, his son's my friend)
     D7        C            D7               Em

So many heroes, so many tales
                      Em                        Em
Give me one good reason why yours should prevail

You dare to defy me, to make me feel shame?
Em               Em
No one beats me, no one wins my game
Em       D         C           B
Thunder, bring her through the wringer
Em               D
Show her I'm the judgement call

The one who makes her kingdom fall
