The Trial - Red Edition

[ATHENA, spoken]
Yes, it's me

(sung)
It's me, of course it's me
The one who gets it done
Don't you see
It had to be...

You all turn away
When I gut the fish
Then you cry "Hooray"
Once it's on the dish
That's how we do this
Yes, we
Yes, you and me

I have always cared for you
I'll always do all these things for you
All these things that you
Are not prepared to do

[GRACE & ATHENA]
You say you care, Athena look around
The way you care, grinds these idols down
(Time to put this girl in check)
From up above, you play your puppet show
You called it love, Athena did you know
(This irritating speck)
You're turning them to ghosts?

[ATHENA]
Sorry little bird, time to wring your neck!

[PERSEPHONE]
Lost little girls, they dream of a future
They're sure how they feel, sure
Their vision's true
I fought for that throne, and then didn't take it
And that was okay, could it be for you too?

[ATHENA]
Of course you would make it all about you!

[GRACE]
Still, Athena, I'm glad you were here to see how someone grew

[ATHENA]
None of you see!
So it's down to me
It's fine, I'll take all the blame
I'll take all the pain

Think you see it all?
You just see a scrap
You wanna make the call?
You need to hold the map
You cloistered children

It's time for you, and all who stand with you
Yes you too! Form a queue
Time to follow through

[GRACE]
This lost little girl, she's got a few tricks now
She's taken some punches, she's made some friends

[ATHENA]
Here's three more little friends
Meet the Furies

[GRACE]
Yeah we've met, nice to see you

[ATHENA]
Though that's a brave face, we all know how this ends

[GRACE]
Such cute friends, I'll take the set

[ATHENA]
We all know how this ends!

[PERSEPHONE]
I didn't know how lost I was
Until you found me

[APHRODITE]
I was so low, I nearly withdrew
Now I'm here because she inspired me

[ASTERION]
Grace, I love you
W-well not in that way
I just meant to say
You're great Grace
And I'm with
W-well I'm not with you, I'm just
Y-y-you know what I mean

[ATHENA]
Of course, it's me
Because of me, this prophecy would come to be

My Olympus is gone
And you're all looking on
At a stranger wearing my face
My Olympus is gone
Now I'm some other one
Just how long has she been in place?

[GRACE]
You can talk about your journey, honey, I don't care
The only thing that matter is: you put yourself there

[ATHENA]
There was a voice, in me, that shouted
"Athena, you be strong"
"Be strong, no cost is great enough"
It was wrong, I was wrong

I was wrong and now I don't know what the right thing is
I leave it up to you what to do with this

[Grace slaps Athena]

[GRACE]
That's for me
And this, Calliope
Now we're done, say bye to everyone
You're off to take a new exciting role
In some dark hole

[ATHENA]
There you go, now it's yours to drive
Let's see how long you stay alive
