【ODYSSEUS】
I once knelt before the gods above
Believing every sacred word was love
Believing every boundary drawn
Had its reason, had its time, then gone
I once believed in black and white
Believed that fate would hold its line
Until that night beyond the gate
I called a lie a righteous fate
I never raised a sword
I never cried for war
I only let a wooden horse
Walk quietly through the door
And while the city cheered
For victory won that night
No one saw the ancient law
Beginning to lose its light
**For those who trust the law the most
Know best how to break it down
I traded one beautiful lie
For the greatest victory in town
But I spent the rest of my life
Paying for what I had done
If justice permits one lie to live
Who decides when the lying is done?**
I once protected sacred vows
Written by the gods themselves
But in the end I became the first
To break the oath I swore to them
That night the gates swung open wide
Not by fire, nor by the sword
But by trust we left inside
We welcomed death through every door
I said it was for victory
I said it was for what was right
But when a lie is dressed in beauty
Even I believed it by the night
One exception
One betrayal
And suddenly the law grew frail
Give it just one perfect answer
And sin can wear a holy veil
**For those who trust the law the most
Know best how to break it down
I traded one beautiful lie
For the greatest victory in town
But I spent the rest of my life
Paying for what I had done
If justice permits one lie to live
Who decides when the lying is done?**
I once protected sacred vows
Written by the gods above
Yet I became the very first
To turn betrayal into love
The gods said nothing
The sea gave no reply
Only the wind carried that fire
Across a thousand years of sky
And now I finally understand
The deepest punishment isn't death
It's turning back toward home someday
And finding your own shadow there
**For those who trust the law the most
May become the law's greatest enemy
I won the war with wisdom
But lost the war inside of me
If justice permits one lie to live
Then the world will learn to betray
I once believed the gods would guard us
But I carved the first crack into their way**
So I walked along a thousand shores
Let the wind remember what I'd won
The city fell
The gods remained
But I was still the guilty one
I once believed the law would never bend
Until I changed the language of its end
And now I know the cruelest prophecy
Fate could ever write for me
Is not that you broke your sacred vow
But that someday,
you would become
the reason someone else
learned how to break theirs.
