LYRICS:
Poseidon, Poseidon, Poseidon, Poseidon
Poseidon, Poseidon, Poseidon, Poseidon
In all my years of living
It isn't very often that I get pissed off
I try to chill with the waves
But damn, you crossed the line
I've been so gracious
And yet, you hurt this son of mine
That's right, the cyclops you made blind, is mine
No
I'm left without a choice and without a doubt
Guess the pack of wolves is swimming with the shark now
I've gotta make you bleed, I need to see you drown
But before you go, I need to make you learn how
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
(Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves)
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ourselves
You are the worst kind of good 'cause you're not even great
A Greek who reeks of false righteousness, that's what I hate
'Cause you fight to save lives, but won't kill and don't get the job done
I mean, you totally could have avoided all this had you just killed my son
But no
You are far too nice, mercy has a price
It's the final crack, we're bound to break the ice now
You reveal your name, then you let him live
Unlike you, I've got no mercy left to give 'cause
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
(Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves)
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ourselves
And now it is finally time to say goodbye, today you die
Unless, of course, you apologize
For my son's pain and all his cries
Poseidon, we meant no harm
We only hurt him to disarm him
We took no pleasure in his pain
We only wanted to escape
The line between naïveté and hopefulness is almost invisible
So close your heart, the world is dark and
Ruthlessness is mercy
Die
Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- (Captain, Captain)
Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- (Captain, Captain)
Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- (Captain, Captain)
Ruthlessness is -
What have you done?
When does a ripple become a tidal wave?
43 left under your command
When does man become a monster?
I am your darkest moment
The monster that always draws near
Any last words?
All I gotta do is open this bag
What?
Remember me

I was not planning on doing music on this channel at all but since I mostly focus on acapella on my main channel, I thought this would be appropriate. Hope you guys enjoy!

Judging by the thumbnail, I guess this is the revenge for showing him Polites dying. Mortius is a villain, but Casper turned into a monster and embraced “ ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves” ideology

So based on the lyrics, remember me at the end, you do realize that Poseidon will make you come back later on you might do a cover of the song where he returns when it is released. I’m not going to say anything, but there is a high chance that Poseidon will make comeback

Man... really no words here. 1. The absolutely BADASSERY of your performance is just a killer. When you go gritty... you just rock. 2. Mortius is so lovely. 3. The amount of lovely shameless self-referencing is awesome. It also shows how strongly you feel about epic & your journey. Again, I blame Mortius completely. 4. That outro! No way, bro! This is just perfection made flawless.

And Mortius you did an awesome job as Odysseus, your voice fit perfectly for that role!! Secondly, I cannot get over the visuals, they were amazing. I love that you were holding a headband before you dropped that unexpected lyric change at the end of the song, that was cruel but amazing at the same time😂 Lastly I just want to say that I am so proud of you, you really outdid yourself with this cover, it is so freaking amazing. Thank you for always making beautiful music and for your amazing reaction videos!!❤

I initially thought this cover is not really good,just not vibing with it since I find the singing at the beginning not really fitting. But then the rest of the song came in and WOW,it’s so much better. The vocals feels much more powerful and hits so damn hard and instantly bumps this cover from okay to amazing.

I have to say, the power of your voice is INCREDIBLE, and the “but no” was unexpected since it was a little different from the original, but I LOVE IT, but on the downside, when Mortius sang the line “what have you done?” It was just too dark, like I still love him, he’s our buddy :3 but it was just way too dark.
