{ ODYSSEUS }
Friends, Circe's instructions were clear
No matter what we hear
 
{ CREW }
Full speed ahead
 
{ ODYSSEUS }
Until we find the prophet
My comrades, this land confuses your mind
So no matter who we find
 
{ CREW }
Full speed ahead, until we find the prophet
 
{ ODYSSEUS, spoken }
Good
 
{ ODYSSEUS, CREW }
All I hear are screams, every time I dare to close my eyes
I no longer dream, only nightmares of those who've died
Nothing's what it seems
Nothing's what it seems
And here in the Underworld, the past seems close behind
This land confuses your mind
{ FALLEN SOLDIERS }
When does a man become a monster?
Five hundred fifthy-eight men who died under your command
Captain! Captain! Captain! Captain!
Why would you let the cyclops live
When ruthlessness is mercy?
 
{ ODYSSEUS, CREW, ALL }
All I hear are screams, every time I dare to close my eyes
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, the past seems close behind
I keep thinking of the infant from that night
I keep thinking of the infant from that night
 
{ POLITES }
This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms
 
{ ODYSSEUS, spoken }
Polites
 
{ POLITES }
Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart
No matter the place, we can light up the world
Here's how to start:
Greet the world with open arms
Greet the world with open arms
{ ODYSSEUS }
Polites
 
{ ANTICLEA }
Waiting
 
{ ODYSSEUS, spoken }
That voice, it can't be
 
{ ANTICLEA }
Waiting
 
{ ODYSSEUS, spoken }
Mom?
 
{ ANTICLEA, ODYSSEUS }
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
 
{ BOTH }
Waiting
 
{ ODYSSEUS, ANTICLEA }
I took too long
I'll always love you
And ventured too far
I'll stay in your heart
While you were
{ BOTH }
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

Biography:

The creator of the University of Notre Dame’s first ever original musical, Jorge Rivera-Herrans is a 22 year old composer, lyricist, and performer who graduated from Notre Dame in May of 2020. Raised in Dorado, Puerto Rico, Jorge grew up studying intensely for a life in medicine, but then switched during his first year at Notre Dame when he realized his passion was in musical theatre. After receiving backlash for the sudden change, Jorge teamed up with his professor, Matt Hawkins, to write Stupid Humans, a musical about a med school dropout who chases his dreams of becoming a songwriter. The musical debuted to a sold out run (including an extra show that sold out in 33 seconds) at the University of Notre Dame in February of 2019.
 
Now, while Stupid Humans (now titled My Heart Says Go) is being developed with The Goodman Theatre and with Apples and Oranges Arts, Jorge is writing his biggest project yet: EPIC, an adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey.
