V5.5

[Verse 1] Smoke on the ruins of Troy fades out, Ten long years are gone, But far across the wild dark sea Still wait his wife and son. Odysseus lifts his sword to the sky, Fire inside his eyes, “I swear by every crashing wave — Tonight, our legend rides!” [Pre-Chorus] Storms may rise and kingdoms fall, Gods may curse the sea, But no force beneath the stars Can steal his destiny! [Chorus] Ride! Ride to Ithaca! Through the storm we go! Hey! Hey! The wind will roar! Feel the oceans blow! Fight! Fight! Don’t give up now! Fire in our hearts! Oh-oh-oh! Across the waves, No power tears us apart! [Verse 2] Deep inside the Cyclops cave, Shadows shook the stone, Polyphemus roared in rage, “You will never go home!” But the captain grinned through blood and smoke, Raised the burning spear, “Tell the world that NONE was here!” Then vanished in the fear. [Pre-Chorus] Poseidon hurled the thunder down, Black waves split the night, But every storm just made the king Burn hotter in the fight! [Chorus] Ride! Ride to Ithaca! Through the storm we go! Hey! Hey! The wind will roar! Feel the oceans blow! Fight! Fight! Don’t give up now! Fire in our hearts! Oh-oh-oh! Across the waves, No power tears us apart! [Bridge] Sirens singing in the dark, Calling sailors near, Bound against the mast he stood, Laughing at his fear. Calypso promised endless life, A throne beside the tide, But no golden paradise Could keep him from his ride! [Breakdown] Whoa-oh-oh! Hear the thunder cry! Whoa-oh-oh! Raise your swords up high! Whoa-oh-oh! We were born to ride! Ride! Ride! Ride to Ithaca! [Final Chorus] Ride! Ride to Ithaca! See the shoreline glow! Hey! Hey! The dawn has come! Hear the north winds blow! Stand! Stand! Together now! Home is finally near! Oh-oh-oh! The king returns! Raise a victory cheer! [Outro] Whoa-oh-oh! Ride to Ithaca! Whoa-oh-oh! Home at last tonight!
