Lyric

What do you do when the quest has ended?

What do you do when the battle's won?

So many questions left unanswered

So many things still left undone

What do you do when it's up to you to choose

Has something ended or begun?

Stay or go, pick one

Do I stay because it's safer?

Back to the home I left behind?

I could stay and train for a piece of the action

But what about peace of mind?

Ugh, what's my deal?

Why do I feel there's something left I still need to find?

Where do you go when it's over?

What do you do when you've come to the last day of summer?

Attention, campers

It's the last day of summer

If you intend to make me miserable year-round, please inform us by sundown

Otherwise, the cleaning harpies will eat anyone who remains!

Perry Johanssen, this means you

It's Percy Jackson!

Whatever!

How come you don't go home?

I tried

Once

My dad couldn't deal with the monster attacks, and my stepmom couldn't deal with me

It's just asking for trouble

Sometimes family is worth the trouble

Believe me

I guess we both have a choice to make

Seaweed brain

Where do you go when it's over?

What do you do when you've come to the last day of summer?

Luke!

If it isn't the big hero

I've barely seen you since I got back, you avoiding me?

Not at all

Tough last day?

I thought when I finished my quest, everything would make sense, but it doesn't

It's the last day of summer, but I don't feel like anything's over

I get it

My quest was supposed to be the biggest thing in my life

I came back changed, but the rest of camp was exactly the same

Chiron always says our parents made camp

As this safe magic space

The truth?

It's so they don't have to see us

They won't bother to show their face

It's time to make the world our own

Time someone put them in their place

Ares thought we were starting a war between the gods, but it was bigger than that

It's about wiping them out and taking our turn

You're the lightning thief

The Oracle warned you, "betrayed by a friend"

You set me up

You were trying to free Kronos

Why?

He promised me the power to defeat our parents

Yeah, he's using you to get back at the gods!

Good!

I've been here since I was a kid

I did everything they ever asked, yeah, I did

And for what?

You know this world will never be ours (what do you do)

As long as our parents rule over the stars (on the last day of summer?)

So I'll do anything (summer, summer)

I don't care if I hurt anyone (summer, summer, summer, summer)

It doesn't pay to be a good kid, a good kid, a good son (summer, summer, summer, summer, summer, summer)

(Summer, summer, summer)

The gods were never on our side (summer, summer, summer, summer)

So I think it's time we watch them fall (summer, summer, summer, summer)

And soon you'll see what I did (summer, summer, summer)

Soon there'll be no gods at all! (Summer, summer, summer, summer, summer, summer!)

- It's already the end -
