The Underworld Lyrics

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
That voice, it can't be

[ANTICLEA]
Waiting

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Mom?

[ANTICLEA, ODYSSEUS, BOTH]
Waiting
Odysseus, when you come home, I'll be waiting
Even if you're the last thing I see, I'll be waiting
I'm right here, mom (Waiting)
Can't you see? I'm waiting
I took too long (I'll always love you)
And ventured too far (I'll stay in your heart)
While you were waiting, waiting, waiting

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Bye, mom

[ODYSSEUS, CREW, ALL]
All I hear are screams (All I hear are screams)
Every time I dare to close my eyes
I no longer dream (I no longer dream)
Only nightmares of those who've died
Nothing's what it seems (Nothing's what it seems)
But in the Underworld, your past is always close behind
Your past is always close behind
Down in the Underworld

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
