前情提要︰
在女巫喀耳刻的幫助下,奧德修斯一行人前往冥界尋求一位盲眼先知的幫助,
但卻在冥界裡見到許多他預料不到的熟人。
[奧德修斯]
Friends, Circe's instructions were clear

No matter what we hear

[船員們]
Full speed ahead, until we find the prophet

[奧德修斯,口白]
Good

[奧德修斯、船員]
All I hear are screams,
我只能聽見尖叫
every time I dare to close my eyes
每當我膽敢閉上雙眼
I no longer dream,
我不再做夢
only nightmares of those who've died
只剩那些有關逝者的惡夢
Nothing's what it seems
一切都並非表面所見
Nothing's what it seems
一切都並非表面所見
And here in The Underworld, the past seems close behind
在冥界中 往日種種看似伸手可及
This land confuses your mind

[溺斃的水手們]
When does a man become a monster?
凡人從何時成為怪物?
558 men who died under your command...
五百五十八名士兵在你的領導下喪生
CAPTAIN! CAPTAIN!
船長! 船長!
CAPTAIN! CAPTAIN!
船長! 船長!
Why would you let the cyclops live
對敵人無情就是對自己仁慈
when ruthlessness is mercy?
為什麼你要留獨眼巨人活口?
[奧德修斯、船員]
All I hear are screams,
我只能聽見尖叫
every time I dare to close my eyes
每當我膽敢閉上雙眼
I no longer dream,
我不再做夢
only nightmares of those who've died
只剩那些有關逝者的惡夢
Nothing's what it seems
一切都並非表面所見
Nothing's what it seems!
一切都並非表面所見!
But in The Underworld, the past seems close behind
然而在冥界裡 往日種種看似伸手可及
I keep thinking of the infant from that night...
我不斷想起那晚的嬰兒...
I keep thinking of the infant from that night...

Down in The Underworld
在這冥界之中
奧德修斯在冥界遇見了被波賽頓淹死的士兵們、
被獨眼巨人殺死的摯友波呂忒斯,以及他的母親安提克勒婭,
安提克勒婭正是因為過度思念遠征的兒子,憔悴而死。
《奧德賽》中的安提克勒婭亡魂告訴奧德修斯老家伊薩卡的現況,提到他的老父、妻子與兒子,
而奧德修斯也告訴母親自己一路的遭遇,他曾經嘗試擁抱母親,
但冥界的鬼魂沒有實體,他的手臂總會穿過安提克勒婭透明的身體,
在三次試圖擁抱母親失敗後,奧德修斯才終於放棄。
EPIC對於這段母子會面的處理更簡約,但同樣讓人心碎,
Jorge本人曾經表示,這些亡魂角色在〈Underworld〉中的歌詞,
全都是他們在臨死前腦中的最後想法,所以沒錯,
波呂忒斯直到臨死依然堅信世界美好、安提克勒婭在臨終也依舊思念並愛著遠方的兒子。
至於奧德修斯在這裡反覆唱誦的副歌,其實來自特洛伊傳奇的棄稿〈Ismarus〉。
這首歌原本被安排在〈Full Speed Ahead〉與另一首棄稿〈Your Light〉之間,
是奧德修斯與波呂忒斯在船上的一段對話,有興趣可以來這裡聽聽看。
最後補充一個溫馨向的小彩蛋,
在這首歌裡演出奧德修斯母親,安提克勒婭的歌手不是別人,
正是由Jorge的媽媽Wanda Herrans親情客串,
不知道這個彩蛋讓各位覺得稍感安慰,還是更虐了呢?
