Save me, [l]ord my [g]od! By day, by night, I cry out. Let my prayer reach you; turn, listen to me. I am steeped in trouble, ready for the grave. I am like one destined for the pit, a warrior deprived of strength, forgotten among the dead, buried with the slaughtered for whom you care no more. You tossed me to the bottom of the pit, into its murky darkness, your anger pulled me down like

roaring waves. You took my friends away, disgraced me before them. Trapped here with no escape, I cannot see beyond my pain. [l]ord, I cry out to you all day, my hands keep reaching out.[...]-Psalm 88 Transformi Changed from old beggar Blessed are the meek: for ng Changes to Odysseus sparks they shall inherit the earth.-Matthew 5:5

The Return Killing the Suitors and restoring the household

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above out where the lightning splits the sea I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me. Through the wind and the chill and the rain and the storm and the flood, I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood. I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night. He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from the fight. I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light. He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon and hes gotta be larger than life! Bonnie Tyler
