Mythic the Musical - It's a Myth Lyrics

APHRODITE:
At the dawn

WOMEN:
At the dawn

DEMETER:
The Titans ruled the world

HADES:
They had it good

WOMEN:
It was good

ZEUS:
Their lives were ideal
With no reason to feel
There was anything threatening their realm

WOMEN:
Until
They had kids

PERSEPHONE:
Here's how it always goes

GODS:
You're sure you're gonna raise your kids right
They're never gonna think you're uptight
You'll never give them cause for a fight
They're never gonna act out of spite
Out of spite

You think that as they reach adulthood
Life won't become some huge ordeal

DEMETER:
Think again that kinda kid isn't real

GODS:
It's a myth
You're hoping for a fantasy
It's a fable
It's a myth
Stop thinking that your family
Is stable
It's a myth
Cause the moment of their birth [?]
Is never off the table
We've learned from ancient lore
Family is love and war

MEN:
The Titans had so many kids

WOMEN:
Holy crap
The Titans had so many kids

FEMALE GOD:
One was called

MALE GOD:
Zeus

GODS:
Yeah he might be of use

FEMALE GOD:
And grew up next door to Demeter

DEMETER:
Hey!

WOMEN:
And hung out with his main man Hades

HADES:
'Sup ladies!

MEN:
The Titans loved their kids but ooh

WOMEN:
It got harder as they grew into teenagers

MEN:
These Olympian kids

WOMEN:
These Olympian kids

GODS:
Got defiant like teenagers do
The Olympian kids got older
The Olympian kids got bolder
The Olympian kids got colder
Then bam

WOMEN:
These children of the Titans wrote their requiem

MEN:
They overthrew their parents then they murdered them

GODS:
For real they fucking murdered them

WOMEN:
Now their lives were untroubled and calm

MEN:
Until

GODS:
They had kids
The story
The story of Persephone
The story of Persephone
The story of Persephone

PERSEPHONE:
Yeah I'm Persephone
Known as Demeter's daughter
I'm like her shadow
Forgive me if I seethe
I known she cares for me
But it's like I'm underwater
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Ahhh
Ahhh
Ahhh
I feel a change at hand
Ahhh
Ahhh
My mum will have to understand

GODS:
You think that's a thing that mother's do but
It's a myth
Your parents' are a mystery
It's elusive

PERSEPHONE:
I can't breathe!

GODS:
It's a myth
Changing minds are literally
Exclusive

PERSEPHONE:
I can't breathe!

GODS:
It's a myth
Even though they never mean to be
Families are so intrusive
Try to bring your kids up right
Try to grow them up without a fight
But ever since the dawn of man
Yes, ever since the world began
But when this high and godly plan
Set like a monolith
Fracturing kin and kith

PERSEPHONE:
You think you and your mum will be fine

GODS:
But it's a myth

Mythic the Musical Songs Lyrics

It's a Myth
Sweet Summer Days
My Own Place in the Pantheon
Enter Aphrodite
Summer All the Time
Mess Around
Down, Down into the Dark
Dark Damaged Soul
What Mothers Have to Do
Mount Olympus / Rebellious Children
Persephone in Bloom
You'd Be Surprised
Not a Chance in Hell
Beauty in the Darkness
Ew!
Irreversible
I Will Be Your Home
I Return to You
