Royal Wisdom Burst Lyrics – EPIC: Cut Songs

Royal Wisdom Burst is one of the more mysterious cut songs from EPIC, with only fragments of its concept publicly known. What’s clear is that it featured Telemachus stepping into battle beside his father, Odysseus, as they faced off against the remaining Suitors. Eventually, Athena would also join the fray, signaling a mythic escalation in the conflict.

The track was ultimately replaced by I Can’t Help but Wonder. However, based on production notes and thematic continuity, it appears that elements of Royal Wisdom Burst were folded into the earlier song Odysseus—as both tracks were said to depict the climactic battle against the suitors. Odysseus captures that intensity, while Song 38 completes the arc.

Though the song never made it to the final score, its concept highlights a key turning point—Telemachus finally stepping into the legacy he’s inherited, fighting not just for Ithaca, but alongside the father he’s long awaited.
