Full Speed Ahead Letra - Jorge Rivera-Herrans ft. Armando Julián, Steven Dookie, EPIC Ensemble

Six hundred men

Six hundred men under my command

With only one goal in mind:

Make it back alive to our homeland

Six hundred men, six hundred miles of open sea

But the problem's not the distance

It's what lies in between

And Ithaca's waiting (Ithaca's waiting)

My kingdom is waiting (The kingdom is waiting)

Penelope's waitin' for me

So full speed ahead, full speed ahead

Captain (Eurylochus)

Six hundred men (Six hundred men)

Six hundred men with big mouths to feed

And we've run out of supplies to eat

Curse the war, our food store's depleted

Six hundred men (Six hundred men)

Six hundred reasons to take what we can

So Captain, what's the plan?

Captain, what's the plan?

Watch where the birds fly (Watch where the birds fly)

They will lead us to land (They will lead us to land)

There we'll hunt for food, my second in command

Now full speed ahead

We're up, we're off, and away we go

We're up, we're off, and away we go

Full speed ahead

We're up, we're off, and away we go

Captain

Polites

Look! There in the distance, I see an island

I see a light that faintly glows

Maybe they're people lighting a fire

Maybe they'll share some food, who knows?

Something feels off here, I see fire but there's no smoke

I say we strike first, we don't have time to waste

So let's raid the place and—

No

Polites, gear up, you and I'll go ahead

You and I'll go ahead

We should try to find a way no one ends up dead

We don't know what's ahead

Give me 'til sunrise, and if we don't return

Then six hundred men can make this whole place burn

Now full speed ahead, full speed ahead

Full speed ahead

We're up, we're off, and away we go

We're up, we're off, and away we go

Full speed ahead

We're up, we're off, and away we go

We're up, we're off, and a—

Full speed ahead
