Torn Suits
[Spoken: Heracles]
“Well, it ain’t gonna be me.”

[Spoken: Oedipus]
“I’m not going down with the rest of you.”

[Spoken: Ariadne]
“I won’t let you kill me.”

[Spoken: Orpheus]
“No, please no!”

[Chorus: Oedipus, Heracles, Ariadne & Orpheus]
[Overlapping]
I will escape this City, leave its rotten edifice behind

I will escape this City, leave its rotten edifice behind
I’ll buy myself redemption, my family to avenge

I will escape this City, leave its rotten edifice behind
My family will rise again
I’ll buy myself redemption, my family to avenge

I will escape this City, leave its rotten edifice behind
I’ll buy my true love back
My family will rise again
I’ll buy myself redemption, my family to avenge
I will escape this City, leave its rotten edifice behind
I’ll buy my true love back
My family will rise again
I’ll buy myself redemption, my family to avenge

I will escape this City, leave its rotten edifice
I’ll buy my true love back
My family will rise again
I’ll buy myself redemption, my family to avenge

[Spoken: Ulysses]
"All right, Daedalus. You want to know what’s in the vault? I’ll show you."

[Jonny d'Ville]
And like that Ulysses casts the eye of the Cyclops high into the air, pulls out their snub nosed laser and fires the last shot, splitting the beam along twelve axes. Daedalus gets one in the shoulder, one in the leg. Oedipus has two, one in each eye. Never saw it coming. Heracles gets the lion’s share. One, two, three. Orpheus has one too, slitting his pretty little throat. Even Ariadne gets one right through the heart. Which leaves three for Ulysses. One. Two. Three.
