The Trial Lyrics by Austin Wintory, Tripod

Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical (Pantheon Edition) [Original Game Soundtrack]

2023

[ATHENA, spoken]
Yes, it's me
(sung)
It's me, of course it's me
The one who gets it done
Don't you see
It had to be...
You all turn away
When I gut the fish
Then you cry "Hooray"
Once it's on the dish
That's how we do this
Yes, we
Yes, you and me
I have always cared for you
I'll always do all these things for you
All these things that you
Are not prepared to do
[GRACE & ATHENA]
All I ever did, all the sacrifice
All I ever hid, trying to be nice
Everything for you, but in any case
(Time to put this girl in check)
I always knew you'd throw it in my face
(This irritating speck)
You're so controlling
Sorry little bird, time to wring your neck!
[FREDDIE]
Only, if only you knew
That you can't force the future
Only, if only you knew
It's not just another thing you can subdue
[ATHENA]
Only, if only I lived
In a quaint little pond like you
Only, if I could just lie there
And any time I moved
I'd tremble a reed or two
[GRACE]
Yes, there's a lot at stake
But there are other paths you can take
[GRACE]
None of you see!
So it's down to me
It's fine, I'll take all the blame
I'll take all the pain
Think you see it all?
You just see a scrap
You wanna make the call?
You need to hold the map
You cloistered children
It's time for you, and all who stand with you
Yes you too! Form a queue
Time to follow through
[GRACE]
Inside, somewhere inside
In that mind, there's a war
You're not sure
[ATHENA]
Don't be so sure
We're not the same, never the same
[FREDDIE]
I'm okay dying again, if it's with you
You're the only place to be
[HECATE]
Athena, you know me, I'm not the kind who is ruled by emotion
But I don't wanna be a murder accessory
[PERSEPHONE]
You're not gonna do this again
We're not going through this again
Not again
I won't let there be another Calliope
[ATHENA]
Of course, it's me
Because of me, this prophecy would come to be
My Olympus is gone
And you're all looking on
At a stranger wearing my face
My Olympus is gone
Now I'm some other one
Just how long has she been in place?
[GRACE]
Give it time you'll find even an island drifts
You don't notice 'cause it only moves in teeny-tiny shifts
(spoken)
I forgive you, Athena
[ATHENA]
Look into me
[GRACE]
I know what I see
[ATHENA]
Yes, a monster
[GRACE]
I've met monsters who weren't monsters
[ATHENA]
I'm a monster to me
I'm sorry Grace, I'm sorry all of you
I wish Calliope could know it too
[GRACE]
She does, she hears you
