[Verse 1]
I’m out on the wine-dark sea, damn
No home, just foam and a cursed plan
Kyklops on the shore, one eye, one grin
I said “Khaire,” then I slipped right in
My crew got bold, then the fuckers got loud
Now half of ’em ghosts in the salt-cloud
I roll with a bow, with a scar, with pride
With a heart full of xenia and a lie inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Mē tis me, I hear the doom
Astra above me, cold as tombs
I spit “olbios” through the pain
Then I drag my name through blood and rain
[Chorus]
The Odyssey, the Odyssey
I’m cursing my way to Ithaka, see
The Odyssey, the Odyssey
By gods and graves, don’t bury me
The Odyssey, the Odyssey
I’ll kiss that coast or die at sea
[Verse 2]
Aeolus gave winds, and the winds said run
Then I fucked that gift with a midnight tongue
Scylla took six, no mercy, no prayer
Just jaws in the dark and red everywhere
I called myself Outis, a nameless snake
Made the world blink once, then the whole thing shook
I’ve seen Sirens sing like a velvet blade
And I bound my crew while my hands still prayed
[Pre-Chorus]
Nostos in my chest like fire
Kleos in my mouth, my wire
One more harbor, one more fight
One more dawn to earn my life
[Chorus]
The Odyssey, the Odyssey
I’m cursing my way to Ithaka, see
The Odyssey, the Odyssey
By gods and graves, don’t bury me
The Odyssey, the Odyssey
I’ll kiss that coast or die at sea
[Bridge]
Penelope, keep that loom tight
I’m coming home through a thousand nights
Suitors talk shit, but they don’t know
I’m a blade in the dark with nowhere to go
Ithaka calls, and my bones respond
From Troy to the waves, I’ve been way too long
So let me in, let me breathe, let me break this chain
Let the old names ring through my veins
[Final Chorus]
The Odyssey, the Odyssey
I’m cursing my way to Ithaka, see
The Odyssey, the Odyssey
By gods and graves, don’t bury me
The Odyssey, the Odyssey
I’ll take my home, yeah, fuck the sea
