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 with 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
