Odyssey of the Creed - Dan Bull

I carry the lifeblood of Leonidas

I feel the spear by my side, just reunite us

As if he and I just realised that

It’d be a surprise

Were there other people like us

We are wise seeing fear minus spinelessness

Is equivalent to being lions

See, there’s a timelessness to my fineness

Must be a sign of divineness, Highness

Proving I’m a god, going to do an Aquinas

And you’re only alive due to my kindness

Why must we suffer in the mortal plane

A deity and me may just be all the same

So if someone needs assassinating call my name

They’ll be evaporated in a massive ball of flame

Scored and scorched as if it’s all a game

Now stick this rap up in the hall of fame

Cast in the shadow of a mountain rising

The clouds part, I come out of hiding

I’m a son, son, a son of Leonidas

I’m a son, son, we’re the children of Leonidas, and we’re

Outcast in the shadow of a mountain rising

The clouds part we come out of hiding

We’re the sons, sons, the sons of Leonidas

We’re the sons and daughters, the children of Leonidas

Light beams shine on the side of the bireme

On the bow the eye gleams like high beams

Fighting on the high seas

Although we might pull aside if we find us a nice beach

So we park, disembark

Head straight into the marketplace

Pick up a mark to chase

Sticking the sharpest blades

Under their armour plates

Where the sun don’t shine or a darker place

'Cause I’m a dark assassin and I’m harking back

And bringing spartan tactics in the heart of Athens

Giving heart attacks to faint-hearted actors

Ripping a fair ladies heart to tatters

Hard-hearted, I’m hard as satyrs

Hit the heart of the matter till the armour shatters

So here’s a message that ought to disarm attackers

Piss off, go on scarper, fuckers

Cast in the shadow of a mountain rising

The clouds part, I come out of hiding

I’m a son, son, a son of Leonidas

I’m a son, son, we’re the children of Leonidas, and we’re

Outcast in the shadow of a mountain rising

The clouds part we come out of hiding

We’re the sons, sons, the sons of Leonidas

We’re the sons and daughters, the children of Leonidas

Dispersing any mercenary

That turns up lairy

Turning their nerves to jelly

Hurt them plenty

Popping open arteries like I burst a levee

Their certain death is the first of many

Left under turf and buried

Deserving every penny they’ve earned

And now they’re cursed

To spend it all on a burial urn, burn

One day maybe you’ll learn not to be

Such a know-it-all ask Socrates

Hot for teacher, getting those top degrees

All of these gods are a tough lot to please

And if there’s one moral that I got from Greece

It’s that war’s nothing but the cost of peace

So I’m giving you an otorhinolaryngotomy

For a second I forgot to breathe

Oxygen is a privilege, it’s got to be

Letting you continue living?

Nah, it’s not for me

Cast in the shadow of a mountain rising

The clouds part, I come out of hiding

I’m a son, son, a son of Leonidas

I’m a son, son, we’re the children of Leonidas, and we’re

Outcast in the shadow of a mountain rising

The clouds part we come out of hiding

We’re the sons, sons, the sons of Leonidas

We’re the sons and daughters, the children of Leonidas
