Great wind god, Aeolus
I don’t know if you know this
But our path to home is blocked by an impenetrable storm
I ask for your assistance
So we at last can go the distance
Can you cast the perfect wind for us and aid our journey home?

Ha ha ha
I am the wind, twisting and turning
I give the fire enough to stay burning
Let’s play a game

A game?

That’s what I’m serving
And if you win, you will get what you’re yearning

Deal

Take a look right here at this bag
It has the winds of the storm all trapped
All you gotta do is not open this bag

Sounds too easy, what’s the catch?

Ha ha ha
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust
If they wanna get the bag open, you gotta say “no, sir”
Sometimes killing is a must

What?

Cause the end always justifies the means
Friends turn into foes in rivalries
So keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust

Captain, what’s happening?

What’s trapped in that bag?

Something dangerous, friends
We mustn’t lag

It’s treasure!

What?

Buh-bye!

Open the bag

Let’s see what you got

No, do not
Everybody listen closely
See how this bag is closed?
That’s how it’s supposed to be
This bag has the storm inside
We cannot let the treasure rumour fly

We’ll try

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust
Never really know who you can trust
Now they wanna get the bag open so they can have closure
Sometimes sneaking is a must
Sometimes sneaking is a must
Cause the end always justify the means
Everything’s changed since Polites, so
So keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust
Never really know who you can trust

For nine days, I’ve stayed wide awake
Tried to make it home with no storm or tidal waves
I remain unopposed, the bag is still closed
And I’m getting closer to you

Penelope

I can’t wait to make some new memories

Telemachus

Time for me to be the father I never was

Just keep your eyes open

Why are my eyes and my heart and my soul so heavy?

Just keep your eyes open

I keep on tried to embraced you both
Why won’t you let me?

Just keep your eyes open

So much has changed but I’m the same
Yes I’m the same

Just keep your eyes open

Just keep your eyes open

Wake up!
Wake up, Odysseus, they’re opening the bag
Wake up!

No!

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust
Never really know who you can trust
Storm
Full speed ahead

Where’s the storm taking us?

I said to keep the bag closed, but you weren’t compliant
If I had to guess? You’re heading to the

Land of the giants

Storm, storm

Help me close the bag

But sir, it’s too late

We can save whatever wind we have to use another day
Come on!

Odysseus of Ithaca
Do you know who I am?
