Lyrics There Are Other Ways: There are other ways of persuasion There are other modes of control There are other means of deceit There are other roads to the soul There are other options of passion You have so much left to learn Want to save your men from the fire? Show me that you're willing to burn, whoa Oh, well, who's to say, with all the mistakes I've made (Don't be afraid) That they will be the last (think of your past) Mistakes I ever make? (Don't break when) There is so much power, so much power But there's no puppet here This is the price we pay for love (I'm just a man) There is the line never enough (I'm just a man) So much power, so much power (forgive me) But there's no puppet here (I can't) Back at home, my wife awaits for me She's my everything, my Penelope And she's all my power, all my power But it's been 12 long years Oh, 12 long years since I have seen my wife And now the God of Tides is out to end my life So I beg you, Circe, grant us mercy And let us puppets leave Ah, Poseidon, eh? There might be a way to evade him There might be a way to get home Though this other way's very dangerous It might be your one final hope I know of a brilliant prophet Problem is this prophet is dead I can't get you home, but I'll get you to the Underworld instead I'll release your men, and I'll get you to the Underworld instead Wait, you're helping us? There are many ways of persuasion There are many modes of control Maybe showing one act of kindness Leads to kinder souls down the road I remember actions of passion I have been in love once before Maybe one day, the world will need a puppeteer no more Or maybe one day, the world will need a puppeteer more (So much power, so much power) (But there's no puppet here) (No, she's not a player, she's a puppeteer) (No, she's not a player, she's a puppeteer, yeah)

Where's the rest of your crew? And by the gods, what happened to you? We came across a palace Inside we heard a voice It seemed to show no malice To greet it was our choice But nothing could prepare us for thе power that awaited inside What did this palacе hide? Sir, since we left home we've faced a variety of foes from a wide range of places Gods, monsters, you know the roster, hostile creatures that we could resist But this was a hell of a twist, cause we are weak to a power like this What was it? A woman What? She had us in just two words Come inside Damn Welcome to the best part of your lives Go ahead and rest wherever you like I got you, don't worry Circe's got you now Only I stayed outside, but the rest went in Take a seat Let me bring you all something to eat I bet you're tired from the years spent on your feet I got you, don't worry Circe's got you now By the time they ate, it was far too late For inside the meal (Think of your past) She had cast a spell (And your mistakes) They began to squeal (They'll be the last) And grow snouts and tails (Mistakes you'll make) She changed them I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah They transformed (This is the price) And it wasn't quick (We pay to live) She turned our men (The world does not) From men to pigs (Tend to forgive) She changed them I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah We have to go save them No we don't Look at all we've lost and all we've learned Every single cost is so much more than what we've earned Think about the men we have left before there's none Let's just cut our losses, you and I, and let's run Of course I'd like to leave now, of course I'd like to run But I can hardly sleep now knowing everything we've done There's no length I wouldn't go if it was you I had to save I can only hope you'd do the same I can hear her still (No one will find) And her voice deceives (Their way between) What if she can't be killed?

Lyrics Done For: Lady of the palace, sorry that I ask this But I hope that I've been misinformed I sent out some scouts to Take a look around through here And they wound up at your door Through the years we seldom Get a warm welcome, so I must ask just to be sure Did you do something to them?

Lyrics There Are Other Ways:
There are other ways of persuasion
There are other modes of control
There are other means of deceit
There are other roads to the soul
There are other options of passion
You have so much left to learn
Want to save your men from the fire?
Show me that you're willing to burn, whoa
Oh, well, who's to say, with all the mistakes I've made
(Don't be afraid)
That they will be the last (think of your past)
Mistakes I ever make? (Don't break when)
There is so much power, so much power
But there's no puppet here
This is the price we pay for love (I'm just a man)
There is the line never enough (I'm just a man)
So much power, so much power (forgive me)
But there's no puppet here (I can't)
Back at home, my wife awaits for me
She's my everything, my Penelope
And she's all my power, all my power
But it's been 12 long years
Oh, 12 long years since I have seen my wife
And now the God of Tides is out to end my life
So I beg you, Circe, grant us mercy
And let us puppets leave
Ah, Poseidon, eh?
There might be a way to evade him
There might be a way to get home
Though this other way's very dangerous
It might be your one final hope
I know of a brilliant prophet
Problem is this prophet is dead
I can't get you home, but I'll get you to the Underworld instead
I'll release your men, and I'll get you to the Underworld instead
Wait, you're helping us?
There are many ways of persuasion
There are many modes of control
Maybe showing one act of kindness
Leads to kinder souls down the road
I remember actions of passion
I have been in love once before
Maybe one day, the world will need a puppeteer no more
Or maybe one day, the world will need a puppeteer more
(So much power, so much power)
(But there's no puppet here)
(No, she's not a player, she's a puppeteer)
(No, she's not a player, she's a puppeteer, yeah)
Lyrics Wouldn't You Like
You want to beat her?
You'll need the blessing of a certain god
Divine intervention
Someone who's not afraid to send a message
Hermes?
Wouldn't you like a taste of the power?
Wouldn't you like to use more than words?
Deep in the night, the fight lasts for hours
You can be hurt or you can beat her
Wouldn't you like to have some of the magic?
Wouldn't you like your outcome preferred?
Deep in the night, the fight can be tragic
I'll help you conquer her
She can turn you into an animal that'll end up on her plate
She can all but make you fall in love like you're on your hundredth date
She can conjure up a monster that'll grind you to the bones
She has all the ways to haunt you, when you take her on alone
Wouldn't you like a taste of the power?
Wouldn't you like to use more than words?
Deep in the night, the fight lasts for hours
You can be hurt or you can beat her
Wouldn't you like to have some of the magic?
Wouldn't you like your outcome preferred?
Deep in the night, the fight can be tragic
I'll help you conquer her
Oh-oh, here in the root of this flower
There lies such a power to take her on
You must consume and digest it
Then you'll manifest a being of your creation
All you need's imagination
Though it's only for a moment
'Til you've beaten your opponent
And I call this root, "Holy moly"
Wouldn't you like a taste of the power?
Wouldn't you like to use more than words?
Deep in the night, the fight lasts for hours
You can be hurt or you can beat her
Wouldn't you like to have some of the magic?
Wouldn't you like your outcome preferred?
Deep in the night, the fight can be tragic
I'll help you conquer her
Wouldn't you like a taste of the power?
Wouldn't you like to use more than words?
Deep in the night, the fight lasts for hours
You can be hurt or you can beat her
Wouldn't you like to have some of the magic?
Wouldn't you like your outcome preferred?
Deep in the night, the fight can be tragic
I'll help you conquer her
Hermes
Thank you
Don't thank me, friend
You very well may die
Good luck
Lyrics Puppeteer"
Captain, I have something that I must confess
Something that I must get off my chest
Until it is said, I cannot rest
Captain?
Eurylochus, go make sure this island is secure
But captain
There's only so much left we can endure
Whatever you need to say can wait some more
Of that, I'm sure
Okay
Eurylochus, back so soon?
Where's the rest of your crew?
And by the gods, what happened to you?
We came across a palace
Inside we heard a voice
It seemed to show no malice
To greet it was our choice
But nothing could prepare us for thе power that awaited inside
What did this palacе hide?
Sir, since we left home we've faced a variety of foes from a wide range of places
Gods, monsters, you know the roster, hostile creatures that we could resist
But this was a hell of a twist, cause we are weak to a power like this
What was it?
A woman
What?
She had us in just two words
Come inside
Damn
Welcome to the best part of your lives
Go ahead and rest wherever you like
I got you, don't worry Circe's got you now
Only I stayed outside, but the rest went in
Take a seat
Let me bring you all something to eat
I bet you're tired from the years spent on your feet
I got you, don't worry Circe's got you now
By the time they ate, it was far too late
For inside the meal (Think of your past)
She had cast a spell (And your mistakes)
They began to squeal (They'll be the last)
And grow snouts and tails (Mistakes you'll make)
She changed them
I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer
No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah
They transformed (This is the price)
And it wasn't quick (We pay to live)
She turned our men (The world does not)
From men to pigs (Tend to forgive)
She changed them
I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer
No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah
We have to go save them
No we don't
Look at all we've lost and all we've learned
Every single cost is so much more than what we've earned
Think about the men we have left before there's none
Let's just cut our losses, you and I, and let's run
Of course I'd like to leave now, of course I'd like to run
But I can hardly sleep now knowing everything we've done
There's no length I wouldn't go if it was you I had to save
I can only hope you'd do the same
I can hear her still (No one will find)
And her voice deceives (Their way between)
What if she can't be killed? (My nymphs and I)
Will you choose to leave? (Their loving queen)
I don't know
I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer
No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah
She's a clever witch (This is the price)
And she's hard to slay (We pay to love)
It's a game of wits (We draw the line)
But you don't have to play (Watch from above)
I have to try
I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer
No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah
Lyrics Done For:
Lady of the palace, sorry that I ask this
But I hope that I've been misinformed
I sent out some scouts to
Take a look around through here
And they wound up at your door
Through the years we seldom
Get a warm welcome, so
I must ask just to be sure
Did you do something to them?
Who, me?
All I did was reveal their true forms
You turned them into pigs
Huh
I don't know who you are nor why you're here
But let me make this one thing clear
I've got people to protect
Nymphs I can't neglect
So I'm not taking chances, dear
If you make one wrong move
Then you're done for
Anything I don't approve
Then you're done for
I can put a spell on you and you're done for
Boy, you better run or soon you will done for
I don't mean to tip your scale but
You will fail at placing any spells on me
I just ate a flower
One that claims your power
So you better cower now and flee
You must be a liar, mortals can't acquire
Moly without dire consequence
Then I must be a god like you
'Cause I picked this root from the
Ground with my bare hands
Hermes gave it to you, didn't he?
Okay, fine, yes, but regardless
You and I are now evenly matched
Our fates are intertwined, they're attached
I've got people to protect
Friends I can't neglect
So now there is no turning back
You've made your one wrong move
Now you're done for
I will be the one to
Prove that you're done for
Not even a spell saves you
'Cause you're done for
Oh, you better run or soon
You will be done for
You've lost
My nymphs are like my daughters
I protect them at all costs
The last time we let strangers live
We faced a heavy loss
You've given me no reason to
Bestow you with my trust
But everyone's true colours are
Revealed in acts of lust
I'm not sure I follow
