The Trial - Red Edition

Lyrics

[ATHENA, spoken] Yes, it's me (sung) It's me, of course it's me The one who gets it done Don't you see It had to be... You all turn away When I gut the fish Then you cry "Hooray" Once it's on the dish That's how we do this Yes, we Yes, you and me I have always cared for you I'll always do all these things for you All these things that you Are not prepared to do [GRACE & ATHENA] You say you care, Athena look around The way you care, grinds these idols down (Time to put this girl in check) From up above, you play your puppet show You called it love, Athena did you know (This irritating speck) You're turning them to ghosts? [ATHENA] Sorry little bird, time to wring your neck! [PERSEPHONE] Lost little girls, they dream of a future They're sure how they feel, sure Their vision's true I fought for that throne, and then didn't take it And that was okay, could it be for you too? [ATHENA] Of course you would make it all about you! [GRACE] Still, Athena, I'm glad you were here to see how someone grew [ATHENA] None of you see! So it's down to me It's fine, I'll take all the blame I'll take all the pain Think you see it all? You just see a scrap You wanna make the call? You need to hold the map You cloistered children It's time for you, and all who stand with you Yes you too! Form a queue Time to follow through [GRACE] This lost little girl, she's got a few tricks now She's taken some punches, she's made some friends [ATHENA] Here's three more little friends Meet the Furies [GRACE] Yeah we've met, nice to see you [ATHENA] Though that's a brave face, we all know how this ends [GRACE] Such cute friends, I'll take the set [ATHENA] We all know how this ends! [PERSEPHONE] I didn't know how lost I was Until you found me [APHRODITE] I was so low, I nearly withdrew Now I'm here because she inspired me [ASTERION] Grace, I love you W-well not in that way I just meant to say You're great Grace And I'm with W-well I'm not with you, I'm just Y-y-you know what I mean [ATHENA] Of course, it's me Because of me, this prophecy would come to be My Olympus is gone And you're all looking on At a stranger wearing my face My Olympus is gone Now I'm some other one Just how long has she been in place? [GRACE] You can talk about your journey, honey, I don't care The only thing that matter is: you put yourself there [ATHENA] There was a voice, in me, that shouted "Athena, you be strong" "Be strong, no cost is great enough" It was wrong, I was wrong I was wrong and now I don't know what the right thing is I leave it up to you what to do with this [Grace slaps Athena] [GRACE] That's for me And this, Calliope Now we're done, say bye to everyone You're off to take a new exciting role In some dark hole [ATHENA] There you go, now it's yours to drive Let's see how long you stay alive
