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 (waiting) for me
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 stores 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 (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!
Polites!

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 wait
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 away we go)
Full speed ahead
