Full Speed Ahead

Six hundred men, six hundred men under my command
With only one goal in mind (make it back alive to our homeland)
Six hundred men, six hundred miles of open sea
But the problem's not the distance (it's what lies in between)

And Ithaca's waiting (Ithaca's waiting)
My kingdom is waiting (the kingdom is waiting)
Penelope's waiting for me (waiting)
So full speed ahead
Full speed ahead

Captain (Eurylochus)
Six hundred men (six hundred men)
Six hundred men with big mouths to feed
And we've run out of supplies to eat (curse the war, our food store's depleted)

Six hundred men (six hundred men)
Six hundred reasons to take what we can
So captain, what's the plan? (Captain, what's the plan?)

Watch where the birds fly (watch where the birds fly)
They will lead us to land (they will lead us to land)
There we'll hunt for food, my second in command

Now full speed ahead (we're up, we're off, and away we go)
(We're up, we're off, and away we go)
Full speed ahead (we're up, we're off, and away we go)

Captain (Polities)
Look! There in the distance, I see an island
I see a light that faintly glows
Maybe they're people lighting a fire
Maybe they'll share some food, who knows?

Something feels off here, I see fire, but there's no smoke
I say we strike first, we don't have time to waste
So let's raid the place, and-

No
Polites gear up, you and I'll go ahead (you and I'll go ahead)
We should try to find a way no one ends up dead
We don't know what's ahead

Give me 'til sunrise, and if we don't return
Then six hundred men can make this whole place burn
Now full speed ahead
Full speed ahead
Full speed ahead

We're up, we're off, and away we go
(We're up, we're off, and away we go) full speed ahead
(We're up, we're off, and away we go)
(We're up, we're off, and a-)

Full speed ahead
