LYRICS:
Poseidon, Poseidon, Poseidon, Poseidon
Poseidon, Poseidon, Poseidon, Poseidon
In all my years of living
It isn't very often that I get pissed off
I try to chill with the waves
But damn, you crossed the line
I've been so gracious
And yet, you hurt this son of mine
That's right, the cyclops you made blind, is mine
No
I'm left without a choice and without a doubt
Guess the pack of wolves is swimming with the shark now
I've gotta make you bleed, I need to see you drown
But before you go, I need to make you learn how
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
(Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves)
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ourselves
You are the worst kind of good 'cause you're not even great
A Greek who reeks of false righteousness, that's what I hate
'Cause you fight to save lives, but won't kill and don't get the job done
I mean, you totally could have avoided all this had you just killed my son
But no
You are far too nice, mercy has a price
It's the final crack, we're bound to break the ice now
You reveal your name, then you let him live
Unlike you, I've got no mercy left to give 'cause
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
(Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves)
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ourselves
And now it is finally time to say goodbye, today you die
Unless, of course, you apologize
For my son's pain and all his cries
Poseidon, we meant no harm
We only hurt him to disarm him
We took no pleasure in his pain
We only wanted to escape
The line between naïveté and hopefulness is almost invisible
So close your heart, the world is dark and
Ruthlessness is mercy
Die
Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- (Captain, Captain)
Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- (Captain, Captain)
Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- (Captain, Captain)
Ruthlessness is -
What have you done?
When does a ripple become a tidal wave?
43 left under your command
When does man become a monster?
I am your darkest moment
The monster that always draws near
Any last words?
All I gotta do is open this bag
What?
Remember me
#ruthlessness #epicthemusical #poseidon
I was not planning on doing music on this channel at all but since I mostly focus on acapella on my main channel, I thought this would be appropriate.
Hope you guys enjoy!
so good ❤
CASPER THIS IS AMAZING!!
We absolutely did
Damn, Casper, those growly notes are amaziong, and we also have Mortius at his best here!
(BTW, I LOVE how the sleeve says "Wet Hades"!)
Mortius saying "we took no pleasure in his pain"... yes, yes you did.
Judging by the thumbnail, I guess this is the revenge for showing him Polites dying. Mortius is a villain, but Casper turned into a monster and embraced “ ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves” ideology
dude you were spot on lmao
Yeah, I just realized that I predicted the whole video even though I only saw a thumbnail
he is the monster rawr rawr rawr
You know what's the problem with that? I'll quote Mortius himself:
"Hey, did you hear the word sorry anywhere in there? That was not an apology, [Mortius]! That was an excuse! You justified it!" XD [superior heart]
😂😂
3:27 POLITES DIED UNDER YOUR COMMAND
:(((
@@CFEntertains glad i am not the only one who was traumatized by Polites' death
Not wet Hades literally written on the sleeve of Casper’s shirt 😂
:DDD
WET HADES FOREVER!!
Exactly
HELP I JUST REALIZED IT LITERALLY SAYS "WET HADES" ON HIS SHIRT (specifically on the sleeve)
This started as Poseidon's revenge on Odysseus and transformed to Casper's revenge on Mortius.
feelsgoodman
So based on the lyrics, remember me at the end, you do realize that Poseidon will make you come back later on you might do a cover of the song where he returns when it is released. I’m not going to say anything, but there is a high chance that Poseidon will make comeback
@@alexeysimushov4971 Oh I'm 100% convinced we haven't seen the last of Poseidon so don't worry, you aren't spoiling anything for me - If there is another Poseidon song I would love to cover it! I guess we will see when Act 2 comes around! :)
The growls?!?!? The high note on that “ourselves-!!!”? Polities?! Excuse me? I’m flabbergasted, this is amazing.
Thank you sm im happy u enjoyeddddd
Casper, your growl is SO good!
"Polites died under your command." WOAH now. That was uncalled for--
THANKSSSS
using your original reactions in response to your own singing is a stroke of brilliance.
Loving the fact that this can equally be considered part parody in addition to being a cover. Brilliant.
THE RAGE ON THAT POLITES LINE, BRO NEEDED TO VENT. Awesome work both of you
Casper has become Wet Hades!!!
maybe wet hades = the friends we made along the way
Man... really no words here.
1. The absolutely BADASSERY of your performance is just a killer. When you go gritty... you just rock.
2. Mortius is so lovely.
3. The amount of lovely shameless self-referencing is awesome. It also shows how strongly you feel about epic & your journey. Again, I blame Mortius completely.
4. That outro! No way, bro!
This is just perfection made flawless.
Thank you so much Glowface, so happy to have you in the community brother
THE HARMONIES YOU ADDED!! The GRIT!! THE SUSTAINED NOTE ON “OURSELVES” YOU SOUND AMAZING!
MORTIUS!! YOU SOUND PHENOMENAL ON ODY’S PART
Omg I did not expect you to comment, thank you so very much! I absolutely LOVE your voice - I would love to do a song with you someday! 🫶
Honestly my favourite cover of Ruthlessness!! I loved the little additions to the song (the *headband* 😭)
The reactions were a genius move and made Odysseus look like such a villain lol
Thank you so much!♥️
3:58 I CANT WITH THE "mortius rn" 😂😂😂
This feels a lot like Polites singing Poseidon . And then I got legit goosebumps when you said 😈die.
Mortius = monster for hyping up Polites knowing this would break Casper
Casper = monster for hyping up Polites to Jenn and making her cry
Jenn = still our Athena, so there is hope.
If this doesn’t get animated at some point I am going to be sourly disappointed :c
I wonder if we could ask Gigi to make one?
NGL that would be amazing haha
I'mma make one after I finish all my sketches for the other gods/goddesses and mortals. Mortius and Casper are both getting special editions as Poseidon and Odysseus 😊
I love how you sang "Guess the pack of wolves is swimming with the sharks now" and "Die!" Also i loved the flashes to your reaction and mortius on the cloud of course
So happy you liked the details I sprinkled in there
Oh my GOD. Casper I heard the preview a little while ago and HOLY CRAP??? You hit us where it HURTS with Polites! I am at a loss of words and I don’t think I’ve heard you sing before this and WOW I am so impressed! You make an EXCELLENT Poseidon and Mortius did amazing as Odysseus! Y’all are so talented and I’m so impressed by you both. ALSO I love how you held up Polites’s headband and dropped it to truly show ruthlessness! What an excellent detail and performance! Thank you Casper and Mortius!🫶🏼 You both are INCREDIBLE!🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Thank you SO MUCH for ur comment, I'm so happy u enjoyed the song
Good LORD this man has a range.
I had the biggest grin on my face through the first 2 minutes, this is phenomenal!
thank you so much!
How fitting that I was eating pancakes during this :)
man
@@CFEntertains I literally dropped my fork when I heard the "Polites died under your command" 😂
@@kittycatzuka fork... or trident?
@@glowface79 Yes
@@glowface79No....
THIS IS SOOO GOOD!!! I died with Polites and then you killed my again with your singing!
OMG Casper this was amazing😍 First of all the vocals are amazing as always, you never fail to impress me with your amazing singing voice. And Mortius you did an awesome job as Odysseus, your voice fit perfectly for that role!! Secondly, I cannot get over the visuals, they were amazing. I love that you were holding a headband before you dropped that unexpected lyric change at the end of the song, that was cruel but amazing at the same time😂 Lastly I just want to say that I am so proud of you, you really outdid yourself with this cover, it is so freaking amazing. Thank you for always making beautiful music and for your amazing reaction videos!!❤
Thank you Gracie 🥹🥹🥹
@@CFEntertains You’re welcome Casper🥹❤️❤️
This is THE Ruthlessness cover and nobody can convince me otherwise, this is AWESOME !!!! And the references to Polites and Mortius influencing others to get attached and subsequently watch Polites die ?? SPOT ON THIS IS SO GOOD !!!!
Thank you so much omg
Oh I LOVED that high note you did before "And now it is finally time to say goodbye." So freaking cool!
Thanks!
Oh my God, the headband, and then you rubbing it in Mortius' face for Polites dying, so freaking good. Makes it hurt even more.
Holy fuck, this was amazing, absolute genius, I just binged your whole reaction to Epic in two days and all the references in thw video where pure genius.
An amazing touch of personality to your cover, I need to listen to it on my computer because my phone probably murdered the quality, but ohhh your delivery was incredible
Thank you so much!
I was in shock when he picked up the red head band 😂❤❤ this is amazing and funny 🤣
I was in shock when Jennifer Glatzhofer's reaction to Polites popped up.
But, if Mortius hadn't shown Casper, then Casper wouldn't have told her and she wouldn't have cried from reacting to "Survive"...so it's all Mortius fault!😆
casper try to talk about epic without mentioning Polites challenge (impossible)
You can just hear the hatred Casper has for what Mortius put him through with Polites in this. Simply amazing xD
I initially thought this cover is not really good,just not vibing with it since I find the singing at the beginning not really fitting. But then the rest of the song came in and WOW,it’s so much better. The vocals feels much more powerful and hits so damn hard and instantly bumps this cover from okay to amazing.
I made the opening verse very nasally and very playful to signify that this is not Poseidon singing, this is me, Casper, about to reflect on my journey through EPIC so far - Your comment proves to me that I achieved exactly that! :D You were expecting Poseidon all the way through but you got me instead. I am so happy you enjoyed the song - Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts with me/us!
@@CFEntertains respect for your artistic choice of modifying the tone of your vocals to get a specific reaction from the audience. ✊ I like when singers/musicians/artists/etc. think less about, "Does this sound/look good to other people?" and more about, "What is it that I want other people to *feel*? What is the *message* I'm trying to send?"
Looking forward to hearing other tonal variations you've figured out for your voice! Keep it up!
Just from the snippets I've seen and heard I already know this is going to be awesome! 🤩
Waiting impatiently... 😊
Hope you enjoyed it! :)
@@CFEntertains I missed the premiere, unexpected visitors turned up 😢
But, yes I really enjoyed it. The vocals and production were amazing, and the visuals took an unexpected turn that I loved 😍
The random bit at the end was a brilliant addition too 😂
Excellent job, well done! Wet Hades would be proud 🌊🔱😁
Oh man the Polites line and clip choices were personal xD you're never gonna recover from that huh? Don't worry fam me neither
Never 😵💫
All hail wet hades
Also the polities line, wow
wet ha des (thanks for watching)
Bruh Lakitu going across the screen KILLED me -- honestly perfectly fitting for that crazy little section of music
WOAHHHHH, YOUR VOCALS!!!! ESPECIALLY AT THAT ONE HIGH NOTE IS JUST!!! ✨️✨️✨️✨️
I love the passion in both of your voices! And the artwork is great! Amazing job everyone!
Thank you! TheSoftHoodie did an amazing job w the art!
Ive been watching you both reacting to epic and this is awesome from you both 💜
Thanks!
I didn't realize until i watched the animatics that Polites died, i had only listened to the musical on spotify so i didn't realize Polites had died
damn :(
Awesome! The singing, the added lyrics, the art. Epic!
Thank you!
I DID NOT expect to laugh that hard. Lol. And then bringing Jenn the other voice actor into it is Priceless. So glad watched her reaction before this bwahahahahaa.
Well done
thank youuu
Casper, Casper, Casper, Casper, Casper, Casper, Casper, Casper
Mortius:Casper?! Anyway jokes aside.
Just realized how easy it is to change the lyrics to Casper singing to Mortius about how he messed up showing the death of Polities and Poseidon in the lyrics can easily be replaced with Casper!
Wait- I just thought now what if since Casper as finally embraced being wet Hades and Mortius Odysseus…what about an au? Not only are they the two but different for example our wet Hades would be mad that he let Polities die maybe because Polties was mentored by him or he’s just mentions it to say “Hey you blinded my son…and it resulted in Polities dying!” Or maybe the stink’n cyclops was never his son in this au?
I mean, don't take this as a hard criticism but I'll mention that "Poseidon" - wait, I mean "Casper" - is only sung 7 times by the backing vocals... and this is actually important because... well, I don't know if I can say that yet.
If you know, you know ;)
Just gotta say shoutout to the guy who voiced Odysseus. Very nice voice
WOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY I NEVER SAW THIS TILL NOW I LOVE IT THOO RUTHLESS IS MERCURY UPON OURSELVES
I... have no words... This was absolutely amazing! That 'die' legit gave me chills!
Thank you!
The ending was very in the vein of "I am the monster rawr rawr rawr"
But holy crap your vocals??? Are phenomenal??? I love the community in jokes thrown in at the end and it hurts just a little bit more with "Polites died under your command"
Turns out I did in fact already comment on this video whoops
Thank you so very much
Casper did real well conveying the emotion in Wet Hade's Voice in these lines
thank u c:
Been waiting for this all week! I knew I'd love it, you should do more voice work! Great job with the grit, Casper!
Thank you so much!
This is the cover ever.
My ghasts have been flabbered oh my gods, 12/10 👏🏻👏🏻 if anyone needs me I'll just be in the corner sobbing over the headband 😭
😂😂♥️♥️
I love and hate that you brought Polites into this! As per tradition though, when somebody animates this, I do hope to see Mortius being ruthlessly manhandled by Casper Wet Hades.10/10
hahaha that would be awesome - Thanks for watching!
y'all, wet hades is MAD mad
BIG TIMEEEE
OH MY- GOD, THIS IS SO GOOD I CAN'T SPEAK OH MY- 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
YIPPIE THANK U FOR WATCHING
Wet Hades sounds so much more crazy in this xD
:DDD
DUDE I GOT LITERAL CHILLS WHEN IT GOT TO THE POLITIES PART
So happy to hear that!
@@CFEntertains man you did such a good job haven’t been able to get that part and the rest of ruthlessness out of my head all day. Can’t wait to see your reactions to act 2 😊
I love this! I love all the little self-promotions and little jabs at Moistius lol! I musically love the echos that are added to the vocals in some of the lines, especially for the second verse. They sound amazing! Who edited this? Because they have a very good sense of humor
I edited this myself - thank you so much!
HECK YES, THIS IS SO GOOD
Thank you so much!
i really should not be laughing at the clips from the reactions but i am XD there are also tears in my eyes if that counts?
hahaha that's fair
omg, i love how used jens reaction for survive, i was planning on watching it right after this
Her reaction was so good - I feel so bad for her tho :(
@@CFEntertains i feel bad for everyone who has to react to polites' death for the first time
the hate and oursselves gave me goosebumps! this was such a fun cover to listen to!
Happy you liked it!
I’ve been looping this for days at this point your voice is SO good in this and I love the additions in the video
Thank you so very much
"Im so excited for you to see where his story goes" 💀 MORTUIS, WHEN I FIND YOU MORTUIS..
ISNT HE JUST PURE EVIL
@@CFEntertains HE IS.
Casper IM CRYING NOW BECAUSE OF THE "Polites died under your command" 😥
I did too when I was recording it ngl
this is amazing! you two killed this on every angle also shoutout to either you or Mason for that wicked edit job! I count decide what set of emotions to feel during the entire last 3rd
Thank you so much! I edited this myself
i enjoyed and would love more
Thanks!
Mildly disapointed that they didn't swap the "posaidon" chant in the beginning with "hades" xD
hahahaha
@@CFEntertains the edeting was amazing btw! Props to your editor!
Okay I’m sorry what the FUCK. That was incredible? And phenomenal?? And if I keep going I’m going to run out of similes for amazing??? CASPER YOUR VOICE. AND THE GRIT. AND POLITES. AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT WAS SO COOOOOOL
Thank you SO MUCH
YOOOOO THIS IS DOPE! You sound incredible as Wet Hades, Casper, you killed it! Love your voice
So happy you liked it!
He’s searching for revenge for polities
Edit: Avenge him Casper he needs to know what he did
What a banger dude! Love all of this action music you're making, it fits your voice so well! Awesome job on doing this brother Moravia!
Thank you sm kamo!
The way you sang that "darkest moment" line was soooo good man
Thank you !
Ugh it just gets better with every re listen!! Not the Polities reactions 😭 😭
So happy to hear you like the cover
I absolutely adore this! Both of you have such an amazing voice! and the Polites part had me shed a tear.

AMAZING
THANK YOU
@@CFEntertains You're welcome! Also, I loved the reactions at the end, such a cool detail XD
This grooves.
The outro grooves too, but in it's own way...
No, seriosly: this lets grieve and humor coexist in a way that is really special. Thank you for that
Thank you so much for your comment - so happy you liked it 🥹
I was viving so hard and then the polites line came in and I was just jaw drop for a hot minute there
i sowy
This was great! Keep up the amazing work, Casper and Mortius! ❤🎉
I LOVED this so much definitely will be watching it over and over again
Showing the headband and saying polites died under your command was evil but so good casper is definitely the monster now
rawr rawr rawr (thank you for watching)
Okay but what if instead it's "43 Polites under your command." Heaven for Casper
LMFAO real
That's 43 Polites to die under Ody's command tho-
