The Mills of The Gods Lyrics by Original Off Broadway Cast of Penelope

Penelope

2022

[ODYSSEUS]
Sing me muse, the tale of Troy
And how it all began
When the wife of Menelaus
Was kidnapped by
A man
Menelaus begged the Greeks
To help him win her back
Which launched the ten year siege of Troy
Attack, retreat, attack
In the end it was the Trojan horse
That led to their demise
A scheme devised by Odysseus
The wisest of the wisе
Oh the mills of the gods grind slowly
But they grind еxceedingly small
With patience they stand waiting
With exactness they grind all
[ALL]
With patience they stand waiting
With exactness they grind all
Aah
[ODYSSEUS, OTHERS]
Oooh
Then Agamemnon, back from Troy
Oooh
Met with a horrid fate
His wife and her lover struck him down
Aaaaah, too late
Forewarned by the gods too late
Oooh
And though his son was only ten
Orestes swore an oath
He swore an oath
And when he grew to be a man
That day he killed them both
[ODYSSEUS]
Oh the mills of the gods grind slowly
But they grind exceedingly small
With patience they stand waiting
With exactness they grind all
[OTHERS]
With patience they stand waiting
With exactness they grind all
Aaah
[ODYSSEUS and OTHERS]
Oooh
Here's the moral of my tale
When people seek to take
Aaaah
Oooh
A prize that isn't theirs, they pay
In blood for their mistake
Oooh
Though for a while, they may prevail
On this you can depend
Destruction, death, and ruin
Await them in the end
Aaaaah
Aaaaah
Aaaaah-Oooooh-Aaaaah
[ALL]
Oh the mills of the gods grind slowly
But they grind exceedingly small
[ODYSSEUS]
With patience they stand waiting
[ALL]
With exactness they grind all
Oh the mills of the gods grind slowly
But they grind exceedingly small
[ODYSSEUS]
With patience they stand waiting
[ALL}
With exactness they grind all
With exactness they grind all
[ODYSSEUS]
With exactness
They grind all
