[Part I Odysseus' Theme / Overture]

[music / orchestration - Romeo]

[instrumental]

[Part II - Journey to Ithaca]

[music - Romeo]

[lyrics - Allen, Romeo]

To the one that I love, my journey has begun

When our eyes meet once more there will be peace

The taste of your lips the warmth of your touch

again, forever, two souls as one

Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied

Home - I'm dreaming of home

I've been twenty years away from all I ever knew

to return would make my dreams come true

Seasons of sorrow have stolen all my years

I miss the rolling hills of Ithaca

I've been through battles and cried a sea of tears

but the tide is changing, and with it all my fears

Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied

Home - I'm dreaming of home

I've been twenty years away from all I ever knew

to return would make my dreams come true

Behold the sea and winds of Jove

We set sail guided by the stars above

The ports of Troy escape our view

a cold and stormy fate awaits our rendezvous

Onward we ride, into the raging fury

Setting our course by the moon and sun

We forge ahead seeking glory

Yet the journey has just begun

Onward we ride - nine days we brave her might

we are coming home...

[Part III - The Eye]

[music- Romeo]

[lyrics - Romeo]

Awakened at dawn - Land dead ahead

with the winds of the morning we change course

no remorse, a place forbidden to all

Search all the grounds - find food and water

Yet journey not into the Cave of Woe

long ago, a legend spoke of a beast

A thousand riches hidden deep within the stone

A thousand nightmares mortal's blood forever flows

A mountainous black - engulfed in a shadow

a bone-chilling growl and an Eye of Hate

a ghastly fate - held prisoner by the Eye

Yet he must sleep - as the daylight fades

we focus our senses and sharpen our blade

we take aim - In silence we strike

A thousand riches hidden deep within the stone

A thousand nightmares - blood runs forever - from the Eye...

[Part IV - Circe (Daughter of the Sun)]

[music - Romeo]

[Lyrics - Romeo]

We sit adrift on the open sea

The gift of wind, by Zeus, concealed - so carelessly

We break the waves on a course untrue

across the endless plain of blue - a new coast in view

We carouse with the maiden

beneath her eyes the madness lies

...in mystery

I drink deep from the chalice

of gold and jade - my senses fade

...I'm mesmerized

Stay - like those before

I condemn you all - from walk to crawl

...metamorphasized

No - my will it defies her

speak the verse - lift the curse

...she's mesmerized

Am I asleep?

Tell me Daughter of the Sun

There's vengeance in the air and all things will be undone

[Part V - Sirens]

[music - Romeo]

[lyrics - Romeo]

Dire warnings -

told by the sorceress in white

'false bringers of love' - Sirens

echoing songs from above

Wings flowing -

floating on Sea of Lies

I defy their vision

Elysium swallows my cries

Embracing -

maidens of lust stimulate

and manipulate my senses

I welcome a watery grave

Tied steadfast to the mast

tragedy awaits me

I'm falling victim

betrayed by the sea

[Part VI - Scylla and Charybdis]

[a) Gulf of Doom]

[b) Drifting Home]

[music / orchestration - Romeo]

[instrumental]

[Part VII - The Fate of the Suitors / Champion of Ithaca]

[music - Romeo]

[lyrics - Lepond, Romeo]

So this is home...

In the guise of a beggar - Minerva guides my way

I find my kingdom in jeopardy

Vengeance - it swells within me

As I spy so many who eye my Queen

I'll make them pay for this blasphemy... All will see

Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca

I will right all the wrongs

Let the Gods sing my song

Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca

Let a new life begin

my journey has come to and end

A contest of valor

'to pierce the twelve rings

in a single arrow's flight'

Yet, not a one can string the bow

My veil of silence lifted

All is revealed

revenge burns in my heart

thrashing and slashing down all my foes...to claim the throne

Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca

I will right all the wrongs

Let the Gods sing my song

Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca

Let a new life begin

this is the end of my Odyssey

Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied

Home - I'm finally home

It's been twenty years away from all I ever knew

I have returned to make my dream come true
