Who's Thalia? You're not the first half-blood I was sent to protect I should have told you but I thought if I did You would never want me on this quest If you knew what a failure I really am Ask Annabeth, she knows There's a tree on the hill up on half-blood hill That watches over us silent and still And no one at camp is safe until We can see the tree on the hill This was way before I met you Chiron sent me to escort three half-bloods back to camp Two were runaways One was Annabeth, the other was Luke And the third was Thalia Tough girl like her dad Zeus I thought I was the only kid of the big three gods You are now We'd almost made it back to camp But I got nervous and we got lost And by the time we found the hill Something else found us And there on the hill up on half-blood hill A cold wind blew dark and chill Though nothing would slay its wrathful will We had to make a stand And maybe if I'd been a little bit braver Maybe if I stayed behind to fight But maybe doesn't let me go back and save her Maybe doesn't make it all right Thalia saved us We only survived because she stayed to hold off the monsters She paid for her sacrifice with her life That's when Zeus showed up He saved her, right? It was too late for that As she died, he turned her into a tree, so that she could stand protecting us forever The way I couldn't do for her There's a tree on the hill up on half-blood hill That protects us all and always will And it's there reminding me Of all I failed to be The tree on the hill
