Remember Them Lyrics
[EURYLOCHUS]
Captain!
Captain!
Captain!

[ODYSSEUS]
We must move quickly, we don’t have much time
He didn’t notice I mixed lotus in his wine
Mark my words now, this is not the end

[EURYLOCHUS]
But captain, what’ll we do with our fallen friends?

[ODYSSEUS, ODYSSEUS & SOLDIERS]
Remember them
When the fire begins to fade
For the fallen and afraid
We are not to let them die in vain
Remember them
We’re the ones who carry on
The flames of those who’ve gone
And our comrades will not die in vain

[ODYSSEUS]
I need all our hands on his club
This is how we’re getting out of here
Use your swords to sharpen the stub
And turn it to a giant spear

[SOLDIERS]
Let’s kill him!

[ODYSSEUS]
His body is blocking the path
If we kill him we’ll be stuck inside

[EURYLOCHUS]
Captain, where do we attack him?

[ODYSSEUS]
We gotta stab him in the eye

[SOLDIERS]
Yes sir
Remember them
When the fire begins to fade
For the fallen and afraid
We are not to let them die in vain

[ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS]
Remember them
We’re the ones who carry on
The flames of those who’ve gone
And our comrades will not die in vain
[ODYSSEUS]
Now!
Scatter!

[CYCLOPES]
Who hurts you?

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
There are more of them?

[CYCLOPES]
Who hurts you?

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Hide

[CYCLOPES]
Who hurts you?

[EURYLOCHUS]
Captain, we should run

[ODYSSEUS]
Wait

[CYCLOPES]
Who hurts you?
[EURYLOCHUS]
Captain, please

[ODYSSEUS]
Wait

[POLYPHEMUS]
It was Nobody, Nobody

[CYCLOPES]
If nobody hurts you, be silent

[POLYPHEMUS]
Don’t go!

[ODYSSEUS]
Let’s grab the sheep and away we go

[ATHENA]
Have you forgotten the lessons I taught you?
He’s still a threat until he’s dead
Finish it

[ODYSSEUS]
No

[ATHENA]
No?

[ODYSSEUS]
What good would killing do
When mercy is a skill more of this world could learn to use
My friend is dead, our foe is blind
The blood we shed, it never dries
Is this what it means to be a warrior of the mind?

[ATHENA]
Don’t!

[ODYSSEUS]
Hey, Cyclops!
When we met, I led with peace
While you fed your inner beast
But my comrades will not die in vain

Remember them
The next time that you dare choose not to spare
Remember them
Remember us
Remember me

I’m the reigning king of Ithaca
I am neither man nor mythical
I am your darkest moment
I am the infamous
Odysseus
