Lyrics

[ODYSSEUS] Let's cut this charade, you are no wife of mine You've been tryin' to take my life this whole time I know underwater, there are packs of you hiding Yeah, I know exactly what you are: a siren My real wife knows I'm not scared of the water And my real wife knows I don't have a daughter But while you were so focused on turning my men into snacks You didn't notice that your friends got snatched [SIREN] What?! [ODYSSEUS & SOLDIERS] We are a different beast now We are the ones who feast now No more of us deceased, 'cause we won't take more suffering from you We are the man-made monsters We are the ones who conquer You are a threat no longer We won't take more suffering from you [ODYSSEUS] We've been away from home for about 12 years or so First we slayed in our own war And now, we're here with more foes While on the run from Poseidon We found a ship with no crew I realized nearby, there were sirens Singing sailors to their dooms We filled our ears with beeswax That's how we resist your song You pretended to be my wife, so I just played along I read your lips and phrases Scanning for information Sirens know about every route and horizon Now I know how to get back to my island [SOLDIERS] We are a different beast now We are the ones who feast now No more of us deceased, 'cause we won't take more suffering from you We are the man-made monsters We are the ones who conquer You are a threat no longer We won't take more suffering from you [SIRENS] Spare us Oh, spare us please [ODYSSEUS] Why? So you can kill the next group of sailors in this part of the sea? Nah, you wouldn't have spared me I made a mistake like this and almost cost my life I can't take more risks of not seeing my wife Cut off their tails! We're ending this now Throw their bodies back in the water Let them drown [SIRENS] No! [SOLDIERS] He is a different beast now He is the one who feasts now No more of us deceased, 'cause he won't take more suffering from you He is the man-made monster He is the one who conquers You are a threat no longer He won't take more suffering from you [ODYSSEUS] Kill them all! [SOLDIERS] Oh, woah-oh-oh, oh woah-oh-oh, oh, woah-oh-oh [ODYSSEUS] Kill them all! [SOLDIERS] Oh, woah-oh-oh, oh woah-oh-oh, oh, woah-oh-oh [ODYSSEUS] Kill them all! [SOLDIERS] Oh, woah-oh-oh, oh woah-oh-oh, oh, woah-oh-oh [ODYSSEUS] Kill 'em all! [SOLDIERS] Oh, woah-oh-oh, oh woah-oh-oh, oh, woah-oh-oh Odysseus

Trivia

• This song is in F# minor, and has a 4/4 time signature.
• The line "...'cause we won't take more suffering from you" is sung in the same tune as the chorus of Suffering.
• The line "We've been away from home for about 12 years or so" may be a reference to the miscalculation made in There Are Other Ways.
• The line "First, we slayed in our own war" is a reference to The Horse and The Infant.
• In the last part of the song, the crew sing in the same tune as they did in Remember Them, symbolizing that they have learned from the mistake of sparing Polyphemus, and that the deaths of those lost that day are still in their thoughts.
