Apollo, Forgive Me Lyrics – EPIC: Cut Songs
Apollo, Forgive Me Lyrics
[Cut Song]Apollo, forgive me
For I had never meant to take the lives from the city you protect
Apollo, forgive me
For I would never dare to cross the line that our fighting neglects
For if I could bring some peace to this world
You know I'd try
If I could flee from all these wars
I’d never fight
And yet I seem to leads us towards the strife
Is there any way to escape the call to arms?
Oh, how I long to see the day of open arms
Again
[MARON THE PRIEST]
Excuse me
I wanted to thank you for saving our lives
We may have lost our son but you saved me and my wife
We'll have to make do
This is for you
When you're overwhelmed by the odds
You can drink this wine of the gods
[ODYSSEUS]
Thank you
And don’t worry, Eurylochus will pay
Apollo, Forgive Me was a deleted track from EPIC, positioned immediately after Unhand Him. Though little survives from the original piece, the available narrative places Odysseus at the Temple of Apollo, burdened by the aftermath of the raid on Ismarus.
In this reflective moment, Odysseus offers a prayer—an emotional apology to Apollo for the violence he and his men unleashed on the city. It's a quiet, introspective plea, revealing a man longing to shed the weight of bloodshed and divine disappointment. The tone is one of exhaustion, regret, and a deep desire for forgiveness.
The song’s final known lines see Maron reenter the scene, not with anger, but with an unexpected gift: a goatskin bottle containing black wine, the fabled wine of the gods. Odysseus accepts the offering, humbled. He thanks Maron and solemnly vows that Eurylochus will be held accountable for the pain he caused Maron’s family.
