Think of your wives and your children

Ask yourself inside
Abmaj7
What do you live for? What do you try for?

What do you wish for? What do you fight for?

Who was that?

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
Cm
A mission to kill someone’s son,
Cm
a foe who won’t run, unlike anyone you have
Abmaj7
faced before (Say no more)
G7
(I know that I’m ready) I don’t think you’re ready

[Bridge]

Eb Bb
It’s just an infant, it’s just a boy, what sort of

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)

[Outro]
— 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)
