Friends, Circe's instructions were clear

No matter what we hear

Full speed ahead

Until we find the prophet

My comrades, this land confuses your mind

So no matter who we find

Full speed ahead, until we find the prophet

Good

All I hear are screams, every time I dare to close my eyes

I no longer dream, only nightmares of those who’ve died

Nothing's what it seems

Nothing's what it seems

And here in the underworld, the past seems close behind

This land confuses your mind

When does a man become a monster

558 men who died under your command

Captain! Captain! Captain! Captain!

Why would you let the cyclops live

When ruthlessness is mercy?

All I hear are screams, every time I dare to close my eyes

I no longer dream, only nightmares of those who’ve died

Nothing's what it seems

Nothing's what it seems

But in The Underworld, the past seems close behind

I keep thinking of the infant from that night

I keep thinking of the infant from that night

This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms

Polites

Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart

No matter the place, we can light up the world

Here's how to start

Greet the world with open arms

Greet the world with open arms

Polites

Waiting

That voice, it can't be

Waiting

Mom?

Waiting

Odysseus, when you come home I'll be waiting

Even if you're the last thing I see, I'll be waiting

I’m right here, mom

Can't you see?

I’m waiting

Waiting

I took too long

I'll always love you

And ventured too far

I'll stay in your heart

While you were

Waiting, waiting, waiting

Bye mom

All I hear are screams

All I hear are screams

Every time I dare to close my eyes

I no longer dream

I no longer dream

Only nightmares of those who've died

Nothing's what it seems

Nothing's what it seems

But in The Underworld, your past is always close behind

Your past is always close behind

Down in The Underworld
