There are othe

eit
There are othe

soul
There are othe

assion
You have so mu
ch left to lea
rn
Want to save y
our men from t
he fire?
Show me that y
ou're willing
to burn, woah
[Chorus 1]
--- ODYSSEUS, (CIRCE) ---
Who's to say,
with the mista
kes I've made
(Don't be afra
id)
That they will
be thе last (
Think of your
past) mistakes
I ever makе?
(Don't break w
hen)
--- ODYSSEUS, CIRCE ---
There is so mu
ch power, so m
uch power
But there's no
puppet here
--- CIRCE, (ODYSSEUS) ---
This is the p
rice we pay to
love (I'm jus
t a man)
There is no l
ine never enou
gh (I'm just a
man)
So much power,
so much power
(Forgive me)
But there's no
puppet here
[Verse 2]
--- ODYSSEUS ---
I can’t!
Back at home,
my wife awaits
for me
She is my ever
ything, my Pen
elope
And she’s all
my power, all
my power
But it’s been
twelve long ye
ars, oh
Twelve long ye
ars since I ha
ve seen my wif
e
And now the go
d of tides is
out to end my
life
So I beg you C
irce, grant us
mercy
And let us pup
pets leave
[Verse 3]
--- CIRCE ---
N.C.
(Ah, Posiden, eh?)
There might be
a way to evad
e him
There might be
a way to get
home
Though this ot
her way’s very
dangerous
It might be yo
ur one final h
ope
I know of a br
illiant prophe
t
Problem is thi
s prophet is d
.
ead
I can’t get yo
u home, but I’
ll get you to
the Underworld
instead
I’ll release y
our men, and I
’ll get you to
the Underworl
d instead
[Verse 4]
--- CIRCE, (ODYSSEUS) ---
(Wait,
you’re helpin
g us?)
There are many
ways of persu
asion
There are many
modes of cont
rol
Maybe showing
one act of kin
dness
Leads to kinde
r souls down t
he road
I remember act
ions of passio
n
I have been in
love once bef
ore
Maybe one day
the world will
need a puppet
eer no more
Or maybe one d
ay the world w
ill need a pup
peteer
[Chorus 2]
--- SOLDIERS, (CIRCE) ---
(more!)So much
power, so muc
h power
But there’s no
puppet here
No she’ not a
player, she’ a
puppeteer
No she’ not a
player, she’ a
puppeteer, ye
ah!
