God Games Lyrics by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, Teagan Earley, Luke Holt, Brandon McInnis, Mike Rivera, Janani K. Jha, POESY, Cast of EPIC: The Musical

EPIC: The Musical

2024

[ATHENA]
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
[ZEUS]
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
[ZEUS, spoken]
Why not make it a game?
Convince each of them that he ought to be released
And I'll release him
[ATHENA, spoken]
Who's them?
[ZEUS, spoken]
Apollo, Hephaestus
Aphrodite, Ares
Hеra or me
What do you say?
[APOLLO, spoken]
Great
[HEPHAESTUS, spoken]
Very wеll
[APHRODITE, spoken]
Eh
[ARES, spoken]
Alright
[HERA, spoken]
Groovy
[ATHENA, spoken]
Bring it
[ENSEMBLE]
Apollo
[APOLLO]
You all know I'm a fan of catchy songs
So with so many sirens gone
I think Ody's in the wrong
[ATHENA]
They were trying to do him worse
All he did was reimburse them
Now they'll tread with caution first
To live another day and sing another verse
[APOLLO, spoken]
If that's true, release him
[ENSEMBLE]
Hephaestus
[HEPHAESTUS]
Trust is not given, it's forged
Why should I give him my support?
He sacrificed his own cohort
[ATHENA]
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
[HEPHAESTUS, spoken]
Fine, release him
[ENSEMBLE]
Aphrodite
[APHRODITE]
Your little high and mighty Odysseus
Claims to love his mother, but let her die of a broken heart
[ATHENA]
He was busy fighting
[APHRODITE]
More like busy spiting the cyclops
Let him feel the pain that his mother felt and rot
[ATHENA, spoken]
Wait
[ATHENA]
Please reconsider this
[ARES]
Really, Athena? These old tricks?
[ATHENA, spoken]
Ares
[ENSEMBLE]
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
[ATHENA]
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
[APHRODITE & ARES, spoken]
Ugh, release him
[HERA, spoken]
Hey, baby
[ENSEMBLE]
Hera
[HERA]
So many heroes, so many tales
Give me one good reason why yours should prevail
[ATHENA]
He's got the mind of a genius
[HERA]
Try harder
[ATHENA]
He's pretty skilled with words
[HERA]
You can do better than that
[ATHENA]
He's kind of funny
[HERA, spoken]
Eh
[ATHENA, spoken]
Never once has he cheated on his wife
[HERA, spoken]
Release him
[ATHENA, spoken]
I've played your game and won, release him
[ZEUS]
You dare to defy me, to make me feel shame?
[ZEUS, spoken]
No one beats me, no one wins my game
[ZEUS & ENSEMBLE]
Thunder, bring her through the wringer
Show her I'm the judgement call
The one who makes her kingdom fall
[ARES, spoken]
Is she dead?
[Instrumental Interlude]
[ATHENA]
Let him go, please
Let him go
