Demigods As... (Vol. I)

Demigods As Hamilton Lyrics

In honor of the Hamilfilm, which I saw yesterday and which was absolutely amazing.

•

Child of Zeus: "Let me tell what I wish I'd known, when I was young and dreamed of glory: you have no control who lives, who dies, who tells your story."

Child of Hades: "Death doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes and history obliterates, every picture it paints, it paints me in all my mistakes."

Child of Poseidon: "I'm past patiently waiting, I'm passionately smashing every expectation, every action's an act of creation. I'm laughing in the face of casualties and sorrow -- for the first time I'm thinking past tomorrow!"

Child of Demeter: "There are moments that the words don't reach, there's a grace too powerful to name. We push away what we can never understand, we push away the unimaginable. Forgiveness. Can you imagine?"

Child of Ares: "If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me, a weapon in my hand, a command, and my men with me!"

Child of Athena: "I am the one thing in life I can control, I am inimitable, I am an original. I'm not falling behind or running late; I'm not standing still, I am lying in wait."

Child of Apollo: "I want to sit under my own vine and fig tree, a moment alone in the shade, at home in this nation we've made."

Child of Artemis: "Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now. History is happening in Manhattan and we just happen to be in the greatest city in the world!"

Child of Hephaestus: "God help and forgive me, I want to build something that's gonna outlive me."

Child of Aphrodite: "The world has no right to my heart, the world has no place in our bed. They don't get to know what I said. I'm burning the memories, burning the letters that might have redeemed you."

Child of Hermes: "No one really knows how the parties get to yes, the pieces that are sacrificed in every game of chess. We just assume that it happens -- but no else is in the room where it happens."

Child of Dionysus: "I may not live to see our glory, but I will gladly join the fight, and when our children tell our story, they'll tell the story of tonight."

Child of Poseidon: "I'm a general! Whee!"

Child of Demeter: "Awesome! Wow!"

Child of Ares: "And when push comes to shove, I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love."

Child of Athena: "Here's an itemized list of thirty years of disagreements."

Child of Apollo: "Onarchy? How you say? How you s--oh, anarchy!"

Child of Artemis: "John Adams doesn't have a real job anyway."

Child of Hephaestus: "Whaaaaaaaaa--"

Child of Aphrodite: "And they say I'm a francophile, at least they know I know where France is."

Child of Hermes: "I'm a trust fund, baby, you can trust me."

Child of Dionysus: "You are the vurst, Burr."
