Puppeteer - Jorge Rivera-Herrans/Armando Julián/Talya Sindel/Cast of EPIC: The Musical

Lyrics by：Jorge Miguel Rivera-Herrans

Composed by：Jorge Miguel Rivera-Herrans

Captain I have something that I must confess

Something that I must get off my chest

Until it is said I cannot rest

Captain

Eurylochus go make sure this island is secure

But captain

There's only so much left we can endure

Whatever you need to say can wait some more

Of that I'm sure

Okay

Eurylochus back so soon

Where's the rest of your crew

And by the gods what happened to you

We came across a palace

Inside we heard a voice

It seemed to show no malice

To greet it was our choice

But nothing could prepare

Us for the power that awaited inside

What did this palace hide

Sir since we left home we've faced

A variety of foes from a wide range of places

Gods monsters you know the roster

Hostile creatures that we could resist

But this was a hell of a twist

'Cause we are weak to a power like this

What was it

A woman

What

She had us in just two words

Come inside

Damn

Welcome to the best part of your lives

Go ahead and rest wherever you like

I got you don't worry Circe's got you now

Only I stayed outside but the rest went in

Take a seat

Let me bring you all something to eat

I bet you're tired from the years spent on your feet

I got you don't worry Circe's got you now

By the time they ate it was far too late

For inside the meal

Think of your past

She had cast a spell

And your mistakes

They began to squeal

They'll be the last

And grow snouts and tails

Mistakes you'll make

She changed them

I got all the power yeah I got all the power

No I'm not a player I'm a puppeteer

No I don't play I puppeteer yeah

They transformed

This is the price

And it wasn't quick

We pay to live

She turned our men

The world does not

From men to pigs

Tend to forgive

She changed them

I got all the power yeah I got all the power

No I'm not a player I'm a puppeteer

No I don't play I puppeteer yeah

We have to go save them

No we don't

Look at all we've lost and all we've learned

Every single cost is so much

More than what we've earned

Think about the men we have left before there's none

Let's just cut our losses

You and I and let's run

Of course I'd like to leave now

Of course I'd like to run

But I can hardly sleep now

Knowing everything we've done

There's no length I wouldn't

Go if it was you I had to save

I can only hope you'd do the same

I can hear her still

No one will find

And her voice deceives

Their way between

What if she can't be killed

My nymphs and I

Will you choose to leave

Their loving queen

I don't know

I got all the power yeah I got all the power

No I'm not a player I'm a puppeteer

No I don't play I puppeteer yeah

She's a clever witch

This is the price

And she's hard to slay

We pay to love

It's a game of wits

We draw the line

But you don't have to play

Watch from above

I have to try

I got all the power yeah I got all the power

No I'm not a player I'm a puppeteer

No I don't play I puppeteer yeah
