The Underworld Letra - Jorge Rivera-Herrans ft. Cast of EPIC: The Musical, Steven Dookie, Wanda Herrans

Friends, Circe's instructions were clear

No matter what we hear

Full speed ahead

Until we find the prophet

My comrades, this land confuses your mind

So no matter who we find

Full speed ahead, until we find the prophet

Good

All I hear are screams, every time I dare to close my eyes

I no longer dream, only nightmares of those who've died

Nothing's what it seems (Nothing's what it seems)

And here in the Underworld, the past seems close behind

This land confuses your mind

When does a man become a monster?

558 men who died under your command

Captain, captain, captain, captain

Why would you let the cyclops live

When ruthlessness is mercy?

All I hear are screams, every time I dare to close my eyes

I no longer dream, only nightmares of those who've died

Nothing's what it seems (Nothing's what it seems)

But in the Underworld, the past seems close behind

I keep thinking of the infant from that night

I keep thinking of the infant from that night

This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms

Polites

Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart

No matter the place, we can light up the world

Here's how to start

Greet the world with open arms

Greet the world with open arms

Polites

Waiting

That voice, it can't be

Waiting

Mom?

Waiting

Odysseus, when you come home, I'll be waiting

Even if you're the last thing I see, I'll be waiting

I'm right here, mom (Waiting)

Can't you see? I'm waiting

I took too long (I'll always love you)

And ventured too far (I'll stay in your heart)

While you were waiting, waiting, waiting

Bye, mom

All I hear are screams (All I hear are screams)

Every time I dare to close my eyes

I no longer dream (I no longer dream)

Only nightmares of those who've died

Nothing's what it seems (Nothing's what it seems)

But in the Underworld, your past is always close behind

Your past is always close behind

Down in the Underworld
