marijke perry - lucky lyrics

[odysseus]
how, my friend, did you beat us here
when it took so long by boat?
what misfortune has come of you that are here as a ghost?
you survived the war, the cyclops lair, the isle in the sky
what if not a godly storm could k!ll you?

[elpenor]
i wish i had a hero’s death instead of falling drunk off of a roof
in the dawn light, i broke my neck
you sailed off without one of your crew
but it’s better than ocean depths, those who die at sea don’t get a tomb
still, i’m stuck by the river bed with all the others who died for you

there’s nothing you can do now, for all the mеn who drowned
it’s life’s final trick; men unburiеd don’t cross the styx

and as i died, the strangest thought struck me
what chance did i have to survive?
c’mon odysseus won’t you tell me, am i lucky?
cause there are worse ways men like me have died

if you’re willing to build me a pyre and
mark my grave with an old wooden bow
i’ll be freer than those who died, trapped by the cyclops, and a storm
though a question to ask if i might, though i don’t mean to trouble you more
did my luck run out on that night, or did it spare me what else you got in store
i know you’ll make it home, free from froth, and the foam
but what you’ll go through please believe i don’t envy you

and as i died, the strangest thought struck me
what chance did i have to survive?
c’mon odysseus won’t you tell me, am i lucky?
cause there are worse ways men like me have died

i wasn’t good, i didn’t die bravely
so please save your tears, they can’t save me
save them for your wife, your father, save them for your son
their waiting, i passed them as i passed on
please believe me their waiting, odysseus you must carry on

as for the rest of us remember us
that’s all i can ask you to do
as you suffer storms, and wrecks, and wraiths, betrayals, know i am rooting for you

cause when i died the strangest thought struck me
it was always you who kept us alive
my luck ran out, but your the reason i got lucky
and there are worse ways men like have died
and there are worse ways men like me will die
