Lyrics

Follow every word from the eighth chapter of the album.

(Choir)
Ooooooh…
Across the seas…
Across the storm…

The fires of Troy are fading behind,
Ashes and glory left to the night.
Ten thousand voices cry in the wind,
Calling my name through the silence within.

The gods cast their shadows over the waves,
Testing the courage no mortal can save.
I raise my eyes to the stars above,
Guided by memory, guided by love.

Thunder rolls across the sky,
But I will not surrender.
Through the darkness I survive,
My spirit burns forever.

I am Odysseus!
King of the restless sea!
No storm can break the fire
That lives inside of me!

Through the wrath of heaven,
Through endless tragedy,
I’ll cross the edge of destiny -
And find my way home!

(Choir)
Home! Home! Home!

Sirens are singing sweet from the deep,
Promises forged from impossible dreams.
Monsters arise from the black abyss,
Yet none can erase what my heart still is.

The oceans divide me from all that I know,
Years disappear where the cold waters flow.
Still burns the light on a distant shore,
A beacon of hope worth fighting for.

Every scar becomes a guide,
Every loss a lesson.
Though the gods may turn the tide,
My soul remains unbroken.

I am Odysseus!
King of the restless sea!
No storm can break the fire
That lives inside of me!

Through the wrath of heaven,
Through endless tragedy,
I’ll cross the edge of destiny -
And find my way home!

(Orchestra builds)

I have wandered through the ages,
Through the fury of the waves.
I have walked through endless darkness,
I have stood before my fate.

Now the dawn is rising higher,
See the mountains touch the sun.
Hear the voices of the fallen -
Their journey lives in mine!

(Choir)
Rise! Rise! Rise!

I am Odysseus!
The last survivor’s cry!
The winds may bend my pathway,
But they will never break my pride!

Through the storms of ages,
Through every sacrifice,
I’ll stand before eternity -
Victorious alive!

I am Odysseus!
The sailor of the stars!
The sea could never keep me,
For home was in my heart!

(Massive Choir)
Home! Home! Home!
Odysseus!
Home! Home! Home!
Odysseus!

The waves grow calm…
The battle’s done…
The king returns…
The journey won…
