Hold them down -Epic the musical

[wrenbutts]

“When the crown wonders where the Prince is only the ocean and I will know” (1:38) is a killer line.

[Leon-Blank-Draws]

"when the crown wonders where the prince is, only the ocean and i will know" the fact that they refer to penelope as "the crown" instead of "the Queen" implies that the men really only see the power of royalty that they can take (like taking the crown) or they see penelope as a prize to use

eh, just wanted to share this cuz i can

[Joyride]

I can’t wait for the musical to be complete and we can listen to Odysseus springing his trap and killing these guys. The song really makes your hate them

[moalze]

The violin at 2:07 is extremely sad knowing that Penelope is correlated to the violin in her motif 😢

[hpfgqtz]

did anyone hear the "Telemachus birthday" version??? 😂😂😂

[mutantsandmemes]

Honestly, Jay could sing the entire musical and I'd have no complaints
1:58 is especially chilling. I hope Ayron does this part justice 🤞🏼

[miabee]

“Hold him down while I slowly break his pride, his trust, and faith and his bones.” That’s the coolest example of Zugma ever!

[jpex_]

me vibing to a song about 108 men killing a young boy then sexually assaulting his mother:

[marvinhubregtse]

extremly powerfull song but my god i cannot share this with anyone without atleast a trigger warning

[averyreynolds]

I really hope the final version of this song keeps the beat and the drive, it's so catchy.

Screw this competition, we've been here for hours
None of us can string this, we don't have the power
Screw this damn challenge, no more delays
Can't you guys see we're being played?
This is how they

[ANTINUOUS, SUITORS]
Hold us down while the throne gets colder
Hold us down while we slowly age
Hold us down while the boy gets bolder
Where the hell is our pride and our rage?
Here and now, there's a chance for action
Here and now, we can take control
Here and now, burn it down to ashes
Channel the fire inside your soul



[ANTINUOUS]
Haven't you noticed who's missing?
Don't you know the prince is not around
I heard he's on a diplomatic mission
And I heard today he comes back to town, so
I say we gather near the beaches
I say we wait 'til he arrives
Then, when he docks his ship, we will breach it
Let us leave now, today we can strike and

[ANTINUOUS, SUITORS]
Hold him down 'til the boy stops shaking
Hold him down while I slit his throat
Hold him down while I slowly break his pride, his trust, his faith, and his bones
Cut him down into tiny pieces
Throw him down in the great below
When the crown wonders where the prince is
Only the ocean and I will know

[ANTINUOUS]
And when the deed is done
The queen will have no one to
Stop us from breaking her bedroom door
Stop us from taking her love and more

[ANTINUOUS, SUITORS]
And then we'll
Hold her down while her gate is open
Hold her down while I get a taste
Hold her down while I share her spoils
I will not let any part go to waste
Here and now, there's a chance for action
Here and now, we can take control
Here and now, burn it down to ashes
Channel the fire inside your soul and
Hold 'em down, hold 'em down
Hold 'em down, hold 'em down

Since King is the song right after this one, I like to imagine that in the literal beginning seconds of King's full version, Antinous just gets an arrow through the neck

[pocfpxl]

2:00 this part literally made me want to throw up (AMAZING song though🙏)

Allusions to SA at 2:00 to 2:16 please skip this part if your sensitive to that type of stuff!

[AgaeteOfficial]

Gods I can´t wait for Odysseus to kill them all, I was seriously flabergasted with those lyrics, but the song is really good

[laurenpunch]

I wonder if this song made him feel icky writing this.

[shadow_phntom]

I actually started crying listening to this beautiful song. It is so tragic and heartbreaking but oh my god the melody and everything is just so good. Mr Jalapeno has done it again.

Hold us down while the throne gets colder
Hold us down while we slowly age
Hold us down while the boy gets bolder
