Warrior of the Mind

Warrior of the Mind is the fifth and final song of The Troy Saga where Athena reminds Odysseus that he must close off his heart and follow her teachings as he is the 'Warrior of The Mind'. The song also has a flashback to the past when Odysseus and Athena first met and she became his mentor.

Lyrics[]

[ATHENA]
Have you forgotten the lessons I taught you?

[ODYSSEUS]
Athena!

[ATHENA]
Have you forgotten to turn off your heart? This is not you
I see you changing from how I've designed you
Have you forgotten your purpose? Let me remind you

Goddess of Wisdom, Master of War
My life has one mission, create the greatest warrior
I had a challenge, a test of skill
A magic boar only the best could kill
One day a boy came for the thrill
A boy whose mind rivalled the boar's own will

[ODYSSEUS]
Let's go!

[ATHENA]
Maybe one day he'll follow me
And wе'll make a greater tomorrow, thеn they'll see
I know he'll change the world
'Cause he is a warrior of the mind
Maybe one day I'll reach him
And we can build his skills as I teach him
If there's a problem, he'll have the answer
He is a warrior of the mind

[ODYSSEUS]
Show yourself
I know you're watching me
Show yourself
I can see you

[ATHENA]
How can you see through my spell?

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Haha! I was lying and you fell for my bluff
Hahahaha

[ATHENA]
Well done, enlighten me, what's your name?

[ODYSSEUS]
You first, and maybe I'll do the same

[ATHENA]
Nice try, but two can play this game

[ODYSSEUS, ENSEMBLE]
Nah, don't be modest
I know you're a goddess
So let's be honest
You are Athena (Athena)
Badass in the arena
Unmatched, witty, and queen of
The best strategies we've seen

[ATHENA]
If you're looking for a mentor, I'll make sure your time's well spent

[ODYSSEUS]
Sounds like a plan
Goddess and man
Bestest of friends

[ATHENA]
We'll see where it ends

[ODYSSEUS]
Okay

[ATHENA]
Maybe one day they'll follow me and we'll

[ODYSSEUS & ATHENA]
Make a greater tomorrow, then they'll see
I know we'll change the world
'Cause we are the warriors of the mind
Maybe one day we'll reach them
And we can build their skills as we teach them
If there's a problem, we'll have the answer
We are the warriors of the mind

[ATHENA]
I still intend to make sure you don't fall behind
Don't forget that you're a warrior of a very special kind
You are a warrior of the mind
Don't disappoint me

Trivia[]

This song is in C# minor and has a 4/4 time signature.
This song takes place in Athena's Quick-Thought Dimension where time stops so she can have an entire conversation with him in an instant.^[1]
The boar incident was initially meant to have significance to a deleted character named Eurycleia. She was Odysseus' wet nurse and would have recognized him by a scar he got on his knee from fighting the boar.^[2]
This song was originally called “The Boy and the Boar.”
This song's initial draft included a rap style conversation between Athena and the young Odysseus.^[3]
The Danger motif plays in the beginning of the 2nd verse.
In the end of the song Athena sings "mind" in Odysseus' style to reflect the trust they have. Later on, in My Goodbye, she returns to singing her single high note, reflecting the end of their relationship.
This is one of the songs which was remade, and the remake was released the same time as the Thunder saga on July 4th 2024
