	Poseidon,
	Poseidon,
	Poseidon
Odysseus:	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
	the
	son
	of
	mine
	That's
	right,
	the
	cyclops
	you
	made
	blind,
	is
	mine.
Odysseus:	No..
Poseidon:	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

	mercy
	upon
	ourselves!
Laestrygonians:	Ruthlessness
	is
	mercy
	upon
	ourselves
Poseidon:	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
	nooo
	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!
Laestrygonians:	Ruthlessness
	is
	mercy
	upon
	ourselves
Poseidon:	Ruthlessness
	is
	mercy
	upon
	ourselves!
	Ourselves!
	And
	now
	it
	finally
	time
	to
	say
	goodbye,
	Today
	you
	die
	Unless,
	of
	course,
	you
	apologize
	for
	my
	son's
	pain
	and
	all
	his
	cries
Odysseus:	Poseidon,
	we
	meant
	no
	harm
	We
	only
	hurt
	him
	to
	disarm
	him
	We
	took
	no
	pleasure
	in
	his
	pain
	We
	only
	wanted
	to
	escape~
Poseidon:	The
	line
	between
	naïveté
	and
	hopefulness
	is
	almost
	invisible,
	so
	close
	your
	heart
	The
	world
	is
	dark
	and
	ruthlessness
	is
	mercy
	Die.
Laestrygonians:	Ruthlessness

	moment
	The

	draws
	near!~
	Any
	last
