[Jorge Rivera-Herrans, Armando Julián, Steven Dookie - Full Speed Ahead lyrics]
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
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, full speed ahead
We're up, we're off, and away we go
We're up, we're off, and away we go
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 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
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
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, full speed ahead
We're up, we're off, and away we go
We're up, we're off, and away we go
We're up, we're off, and away we go
