About Olympus

“Olympus“ is based on Clash of the Titans (the 1981 version), a fantasy adventure film loosely based on the Greek myth of Perseus and which includes the final stop-animation work of Ray Harryhausen, referenced in the first verse. .

Olympus Lyrics

[00:12.79] Oh, lift up your head, boy
[00:19.78] Don't play pretend dead on the floor
[00:25.73] Now Harryhausen conceived from a cauldron
[00:31.86] Wielding Olympus with eyes on the shore
[00:38.30] There's nothing
[00:44.57] There's nothing
[00:51.38] Oh, show me the flow of my life
[00:58.01] Bound by Acrisius bronzed from the skylight
[01:04.57] Seeking the oracle's eyes in the night with a sigh
[01:11.70] Seriphos greets us with moments of silence
[01:17.55] There's nothing (how far away?)
[01:23.14] There's no place like home
[01:24.25] There's nothing (how far away?)
[01:27.67] There's no place like home
[01:30.77] There's nothing (how far away?)
[01:34.14] There's no place like home
[01:37.67] There's nothing (how far away?)
[01:40.17] There's no place like home
[01:44.48] Who will arrange my great escape?
[01:49.23] Hopelessly I have been torn from this outrage
[01:56.73] Tossing and turning uneasy, it cost me the cross
[02:03.38] Am I at rest or resigned in my chaos?
[02:09.76] There's nothing (how far away?)
[02:13.32] There's no place like home
[02:16.87] There's nothing (how far away?)
[02:19.73] There's no place like home
[02:22.66] There's nothing (how far away?)
[02:25.80] There's no place like home
[02:29.77] There's nothing (how far away?)
[02:32.93] There's no place like home
[02:35.97] (There's something) And it's the light on your hand
[02:43.16] (There's something) And it's the touch of my wristband
[02:49.31] (There's one thing) And it's the weight of our wish
[02:56.09] (There's one thing) And it's our very first kiss
[03:05.33]
