The Odyssey

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
 Uh
 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 dream 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
 Yeah, I will return
 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 dream 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, oh
 Onward we ride
 Nine days we brave her might
 We are, we are
 We are, we are
 We are, we are coming home
 ♪
 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
 But journey not into the caves 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
 ♪
 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
 ♪
 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
 Yeah!
 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, uh
 ♪
 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, oh
 Am I asleep?
 Tell me, daughter of the sun
 There's vengeance in the air and all things
 All things must be undone
 ♪
 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
 ♪
 So this is home
 In the guise of a beggar, Minerva guides my way
 I find the 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, oh
 ♪
 A contest of valor
 To pierce all the rings
 In a single arrow's flight
 Yet not a one can string the bow
 My veil of silence lifts
 It 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, my eyes have been denied
 Home, I'm finally home
 I've been twenty years away from all I ever knew
 I have returned to make my dream
 Come true
