Hold Them Down - Jorge Rivera-Herrans/Ayron Alexander/Cast of EPIC: The Musical

Lyrics by：Jorge Miguel Rivera-Herrans

Composed by：Jorge Miguel Rivera-Herrans

SUITORS：

Whoever can string the old king's bow

And shoot through twelve axes cleanly

Will be the new king sit down at the throne

Penelope as his queen

Where is he?

Where is the man who can string this bow?

Oh-woah

ANTINOUS：

Screw this competition we've been here for hours

None of us can string this we don't have the power

Screw this damn challenge no more delays

Can't you guys see we're being played?

This is how they

ANTINOUS/SUITORS：

Hold us down while the throne gets colder

Hold us down while we slowly age

Hold us down while the boy gets bolder

Where in the hell is our pride and our rage?

Here and now there's a chance for action

Here and now we can take control

Here and now burn it down to ashes

Channel the fire inside your soul

ANTINOUS：

Haven't you noticed who's missing?

Don't you know the prince is not around?

I heard he's on a diplomatic mission

And I heard today he comes back to town so

I say we gather near the beaches

I say we wait 'til he arrives

Then when he docks his ship we can breach it

Let us leave now today we can strike and

ANTINOUS/SUITORS：

Hold him down 'til the boy stops shakin'

Hold him down while I slit his throat

Hold him down while I slowly break his

Pride his trust his faith and his bones

Cut him down into tiny pieces

Throw him down in the great below

When the crown wonders where the prince is

Only the ocean and I will know

ANTINOUS：

And when the deed is done

The queen will have no one

To stop us from breaking her bedroom door

Stop us from taking her love and more

ANTINOUS/SUITORS：

And then we'll

Hold her down while her gate is open

Hold her down while I get a taste

Hold her down while we share her spoils

I will not let any part go to waste

Here and now there's a chance for action chance for action

Here and now we can take control take control

Here and now burn it down to ashes

Channel the fire inside your soul and

Hold 'em down hold 'em down hold 'em down oh

Hold 'em down hold 'em down

Hold 'em down hold 'em down hold 'em down

Channel the fire inside your soul and

Hold 'em down hold 'em down
