The Odyssey

Lyrics

(Intro)
(Soft, shimmering electric guitar arpeggios and a warm Rhodes piano swell)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
​(Verse 1)
On the wine-dark sea she flew
With a brave and faithful crew
Jason stands at the sturdy prow
With a hero’s heart and a solemn vow
Past Lemnian shores we made our stand
Then Thrace, a troubled, barren land
We saved the King from the Harpies' flight
And sailed on through the velvet night
​(Chorus)
FOR THE RAM WITH THE GOLDEN SHEEN
WE SAILED TO A LAND UNSEEN
THROUGH THE CLASHING ROCKS' DEMISE
BENEATH THE COLCHIAN SKIES
(Argos, carry us home)
​(Verse 2)
Orpheus plays a song so sweet
To keep the rhythm and the beat
Heracles with his strength untold
Seeking the prize of ancient gold
Through the Symplegades, a narrow gate
We challenged the very hand of fate
To the dragon’s grove where the prize was hung
While the songs of the stars were softly sung
​(Chorus)
FOR THE RAM WITH THE GOLDEN SHEEN
WE SAILED TO A LAND UNSEEN
THROUGH THE CLASHING ROCKS' DEMISE
BENEATH THE COLCHIAN SKIES
​(Bridge)
Medea’s mist and a king’s demand
Trials of fire across the sand
But the fleece is won and the sails are set
A journey we will never forget
​(Guitar Solo)
(A melodic, clean-toned solo with a touch of chorus effect)
​(Outro)
Heading back to the Iolcus shore
The heroes return from the ancient war
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Under the Colchian skies...
(Fade out with the sound of gentle waves)
