Full Speed Ahead [Cut version] Lyrics – EPIC: Cut Songs

[ATHENA]
There once was a man
Cunning mind running through the sky and the sand
In the land of gods and monsters
Sought to see his family prosper
At any and all cost and
Through the process he remained dauntless
Now he's remembered forever for his endeavors
And all he ever lived was the life of a legend
A life that was epic

[ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS, ALL]
Six hundred men
Six hundred men under my command
With only one goal in mind
Make it back alive to our homeland
Six hundred men, six hundred miles of open sea
But the problem’s not the distance
It's what lies in between

And Ithaca's waiting (Ithaca’s waiting)
My kingdom is waiting (The kingdom is waiting)
Penelope's waitin' for me
So full speed ahead, full speed ahead

[EURYLOCHUS, SOLDIERS, ALL]
Six hundred men (Six hundred men)
We're tired, weary, and fatigued from war
War
We're broken and old like the bones in our bodies
[EURYLOCHUS & POLITES, SOLDIERS]

Six hundred men (Six hundred men)
Who knows how long he can keep them in line
It's just a matter of time
Before someone tries to end your—

[ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS, ALL]
And I cannot falter (Better not falter)
Gotta keep my head low (Gotta keep your head low)
Then I'll evade the burns and make the journey home
So full speed ahead
Full speed ahead
We're up, we’re off, and away we go
We’re up, we're off, and away we go

[ATHENA]
And so begins the glorious tale
Historians hail about a more notorious male
This story entails failures and gory entrails
And mortals who sail around to hell and back to prevail
I’ll unveil what I know right off the top of my head:
Most of these sorry souls are gonna end up dead
So as you hold onto the mast I must ask are you prepared?
Cause here every corner's a warning to beware

[ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS, ALL]
Waiting
My kingdom is waiting
My family's waitin' for me
And I know I cannot falter, and I know I can’t slow down
Even though the gods are watching me to see if I will drown
So full speed ahead, full speed ahead
Full speed ahead
We're up, we're off, and away we go
We're up, we're off, and away we go
Full speed ahead
We're up, we're off, and away we go
We're up, we're off, and a—
Full speed ahead
