Lyrics[]

[ENSEMBLE]
Six hundred men, six hundred
Six hundred men, six hundred
Six hundred men, six hundred
Six hundred men, six hundred

[ODYSSEUS]
I don't think you seem to get it,
I can't afford to die,
'Cause I will get back to my son,
And I will get back to my WIFE!!!
For every comrade!
Every one of my friends!
Almost all of whom were slaughtered by your hand!
SIX HUNDRED STRIKE!!

[ENSEMBLE]
Six hundred men, six hundred
Six hundred men, six hundred
Six hundred men, six hundred
Six hundred, six hundred men

[POSEIDON]
You idiot...
Can't you see...
You sealed your fate,
Just to beat me.
You released my storm..
When you opened that bag,
Blocked your one way home! Now you'll never get back.

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
You're going to call off that storm...

[POSEIDON, spoken]
Or what?
You can't kill me!

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Exactly...

[ODYSSEUS picks up POSEIDON'S Trident]

[POSEIDON, spoken]
Wait...
WAIT!!!
AH!!!

[ODYSSEUS, POSEIDON]
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE HELPLESS?! (ARGH!!)
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO KNOW PAIN?! (UGH!!)
I WATCHED MY FRIENDS DIE IN HORROR! (AH!!)
CRYING AS THEY WERE ALL SLAIN! (UGH!)
I HEARD THEIR FINAL MOMENTS! (ARGH!)
CALLING THEIR CAPTAIN IN VAIN! (UGH!)
LOOK WHAT YOU TURNED ME INTO! (AH!!)
LOOK WHAT WE'VE BECOME! (UGH!)

[POSEIDON, spoken]
Enough…

[ODYSSEUS]
ALL OF THE PAIN THAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH!

[POSEIDON, spoken]
Stop!

[ODYSSEUS]
HAVEN'T I SUFFERED ENOUGH?!

[POSEIDON]
STOP!!!

[ODYSSEUS]
YOU DIDN'T STOP WHEN I BEGGED YOU!!!
TOLD ME TO CLOSE MY HEART!!!

[POSEIDON, spoken]
You...

[ODYSSEUS]
YOU SAID THE WORLD WAS DARK!!!

[POSEIDON]
MONSTER!!!

[ODYSSEUS]
DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT RUTHLESSNESS IS MERCY UPON OUR-

[POSEIDON]
Alright!!!
Please...

[ODYSSEUS drops POSEIDON's Trident]

[POSEIDON, spoken]
After everything you've done...
...how will you sleep at night?

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
...Next to my wife.

Trivia[]

  • The "Six Hundred" in the song title refers to the 600 men Odysseus lost over the course of his journey home.
  • When recording a snippet of this song to post, Jorge had to go to an empty parking lot to avoid getting a noise complaint.
  • This song is the only one (so far) to have an official animatic made in 3D.
  • At the beginning of the song, Aeolus' motif is heard in the background to represent the Wind Bag.
  • Before Odysseus tortured Poseidon, the horn from Different Beast can be heard.
  • Odysseus stabs Poseidon 8 times with his trident, and was about to stab him for a ninth time if it weren't for Poseidon finally conceding. This could represent the eight released sagas, but nine in total.
  • Towards the end of the song, Tiresias' motif is faintly heard in the background, symbolizing that his prophecy has come true.
  • At the beginning of the song the “danger is nearby” motif can be heard representing that Odysseus has become the danger.
