CYCLOPS

The sky was black
Thunder unrelenting
Ulysses’ men bore strength to steady oar
Battered, the men paid dearly
The tempest it subsided
The men bring ship ashore

Cyclops
Polyphemus, son of Poseidon
Cyclops

A giant cavern
Filled with much bounty
The crew is hungry
Replenishing their stores
Eating, feasting and drinking
Exhausted crew is sleeping
Danger is in store

The cyclops Polyphemus
One giant eye, by and by, will be watching you
The cyclops Polyphemus
Lives with his brothers, tending their flock, rams and ewes

Cyclops
Polyphemus son of Poseidon
Cyclops

Cyclops returns home
With his sheep behind him
Rolls a giant boulder, fashioning a door
Polyphemus
Sees sailors sleeping
And he’s feeling hungry, picks two off the floor
Tired Cyclops, It’s time for sleep now

After sleeping for his breakfast
in the morning cyclops eating two more
Now he’s taking sheep to pasture
Leaving home he rolls the boulder, once more

The crew fearing defeat look to Ulysses
He’s got a plan to get out of this mess or they’ll lose
Find a piece of lumber
And we’ll work together to fashion a spear for our use

Cyclops returning
And he is thirsty
Ulysses offers “Come and drink my wine"
Cyclops has never had wine
So he starts dancing, prancing
Movin’, groovin’ feeling so fine

I like this wine, feeling so fine
Oh please proclaim, what is your name
Noman! My name is Noman. Why don’t you rest now
You have worked so hard Just close your eye
mmmmmmm
Just close your eye

Men start moving, get their lumber
Use the fire, heat the weapon, it glows red
Careful not to break his slumber
With their weapon they hope to make him dead

ARRG

I can not see, Brothers come help me
Polyphemus, who has caused you pain
Noman kills me, Noman
If no man kills you, then why do you cry out in vain
You’re wasting our time, It’s always the same

Wounded he searches his cave for the crew
Blinded by rage he has not a clue

Ulysses’s plot is formed in his head
To not kill his foe freedom instead

Hung under the rams grasping the fleece
Cyclops is fooled from their prison released

Out of the cave and out to the shore
Onto their ship their backs turn to oars
