Lightning Thief Cast, The - The Last Day Of Summer Lyrics






[Percy:]
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?

[Percy & Ensemble:]
What do you do when you've come to
The last day of summer?

[Mr. D:]
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

[Percy:]
It's Percy Jackson

[Mr. D:]
Whatever!

[Percy:]
How come you don't go home?

[Annabeth:]
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

[Percy:]
Sometimes family is worth the trouble. Believe me

[Annabeth:]
I guess we both have a choice to make, Seaweed Brain

[All:]
Where do you go when it's over?
What do you do when you've come to
The last day of summer?

[Percy:]
Luke!

[Luke:]
If it isn't the big hero

[Percy:]
I've barely seen you since I got back. You avoiding me?

[Luke:]
Not at all. Tough last day?

[Percy:]
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

[Luke:]
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

[Percy:]
You're the lightning thief

[Luke:]
The Oracle warned you. "Betrayed by a friend"

[Percy:]
You set me up. You were trying to free Kronos. Why?

[Luke:]
He promised me the power to defeat our parents

[Percy:]
He's using you! To get back at the gods!

[Luke:]
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
As long as our parents rule over the stars

[Ensemble:]
What do you do on the last day of summer?

[Luke:]
So I'll do anything
([Ensemble:] Summer, summer, summer, summer...)
I don't care if I hurt anyone
It doesn't pay to be a good kid
A good kid, a good son

The gods were never on our side
So I think it's time we watch them fall
And soon you'll see what I did
Soon they'll be no gods at all!

Lightning Thief Cast, The The Last Day Of Summer Comments
  1. A.... ....

    SO FRICKING GOOD!! LIKE UGH!! I love how this song is like the reprise of Good Kid and how it uses those themes.

  2. B.... M....

    NGL it sounds like some sort of Christen Pop song

  3. L.... R....

    "Perry Johanson, this means you..." I didn't know his name was Perry?????

  4. u.... ....

    Luke: So I'll do anything
    I don't care if I hurt anyone!

    Annabeth: hold my dagger

  5. P.... M....

    I love this song, honestly, because there's a contrast where you think everything's done, and then Percy finds out Luke is the one that stole the bolt, and it all just picks up again and you're like, "Oh, shoot, it's just the beginning". Perfect

  6. M.... B....

    Percy: "I swear I never stole anything / I never meant to hurt anyone"
    Luke: "So I'll do anything / I don't care if I hurt anyone"

  7. B.... F....

    Who are the 36 idiots who disliked this, because they need to ere es karakas (I think that’s right)

  8. J.... P....

    does it pay to be a good daughter?

  9. S.... B....

    0:30 turn on caps XD

    (FRUSTRATION)

  10. R.... P....

    Ah... I can relate so much to Luke tho

  11. D.... D....

    When I started reading the books, and when I reached the Oracle’s Prophecy in TLT, I pretty much figured out who the lightning thief was. It said, *”Betrayed by a friend”*. So, my mind went to Luke automatically. Not Annabeth or Grover. *LUKE*. And the word “betrayed” pretty much summed it up.

    *STILL I FINISHED THE WHOLE BOOK, IT WAS TOO CATCHY TO PUT DOWN!*

  12. T.... ....

    This reminds me so much of the tune ups in Rent

  13. J.... M....

    When Luke first meets Percy, his first words to him are, "tough first day?" And now in this song, their last interaction, his words are "tough last day?"


    Gods, I love parallels

  14. s.... ....

    This song gives me a big Days Of Summer (StarKid avps) feel :)

  15. A.... T....

    3:08 just fRICcing kills me every time the melody the lyrics Everything is just--
    p e r f e c t

  16. M.... S....

    When Luke was your favorite character and then he betrays everyone.

    Yeah I read that book back in middle school.

    Im still not over that betrayal.

  17. s.... l....

    God the key change them Lukes part ahhhh perfect

  18. L.... P....

    I’m with ya, Luke.

  19. C.... ....

    Luke’s Good Kid reprise *kills* me.

  20. z.... m....

    I think a gravity falls animatic of this song would be awesome

  21. T.... H....

    I desperately wanna hear a mashup of this and Days of Summer from AVPS

  22. L.... ....

    This song hits hard, but it’s even worse when you see it in person right in front of the stage,lowkey almost cried

  23. h.... p....

    THERES SO MUCH I LOVE ABOUT THIS SONG AND PLAYLIST💖💖💖

  24. M.... W....

    Will I ever stop crying over Luke's Good Kid Reprise?

  25. J.... G....

    I feel like Mr.D likes all of the demigods

  26. E.... ....

    when Luke talks the music gets sinister i'M QUAKING IN MY BOOTS

  27. C.... B....

    my poor baby Luke! It hurts even more that he's dead and I didn't appreciate him enough at the time

  28. L.... ....

    I decided to listen to listen to this song on the last day of summer vacation every year. And here I am.

  29. L.... S....

    Sometimes I feel like Luke's good kid reprise is him trying to tell himself he's doing the right thing

  30. L.... T....

    The fact that he sang part of Percy’s song...

  31. L.... T....

    Me after listening to the soundtrack:🎶What do you do when it’s all over?!🎶

  32. E.... 1....

    today is my last day of summer

  33. �.... ....

    I’m listening to this on the literal last day of summer,
    H elp

    �.... ....

    Middle school is stressful and awkward. I hate it.

  34. �.... �....

    When luke says a good son i just imagine may castlan burning up cookies and waiting for her boy

  35. T.... W....

    OMIGODS LUKE'S PART I JUST CAN'T-

  36. D.... W....

    Luke really is such a good villain. He’s someone you legitimately empathize with and it’s really not that hard to see Percy going down the same path

  37. I.... H....

    Also dam going into high school that beginning hit me hard


    Also lukes version of good kid

  38. I.... H....

    An idea for y’all Percy Jackson fam, listen to this right before you go to bed on the last day of summer/day before school starts





    Doing that now

  39. Y.... S....

    I'm going back to school very soon and I plan to play this on repeat. More than usual.

  40. T.... ....

    Who else is listening to this on the last day of summer?

  41. M.... C....

    This is my favorite song of the entire musical.

  42. g.... b....

    *What will you do? Go to Broadway!*

  43. M.... ....

    smash that mf like button if you think james hayden rodriguez would make a good jd in heathers

  44. N.... ....

    I can't be the only one listening to this the day before school starts

  45. T.... a....

    # watchingthiswhilecryingonthelastdayofsummer

  46. C.... M....

    Me: *listening to this musical for the 50th time after rereading the book series countless times*
    Also me: *sits up and knocks out headphones at **2:41* "No! I have to hear the ending!"

  47. N.... d....

    Luke is kinda like the Snape of the Percy Jackson series he's not evil and he's not good. He's in the grey area in between

  48. G.... S....

    Percy: Your the lightning thief...
    My thoughts: What a serious moment... you know what?

    *ROLL THE CREDITS!!!*

  49. j.... ....

    1:37 for lukes entire solo.

  50. v.... ....

    There's something amazing and kinds creepy about the almost panicked chanting of "summer" in the background of Luke's Good Kid reprise

  51. N.... B....

    Excuse me while I go lie in a whole and cry while listening to Luke's "Good Kid" verse on repeat

  52. D.... H....

    Is it weird that I want more musicals of the books like a really want an nico song or a leo song

  53. w.... x....

    this song has a deeper meaning,





    where do you go when its over? when you die?



    what do you do when youve come to the last day of summer?



    where do you go when youve come to the last day of life??

















    jk

  54. M.... h....

    HOLY SHIT IT CHANGES TO MINOR KEY WHEN LUKE COMES IN

  55. G.... 4....

    To speak from the thee people: we all love this, and hope there would be a continuation to this

  56. r.... ....

    I'm getting serious JD vibes from Luke's part.

  57. M.... N....

    Omg our poor boy Luke. He deserved more in the end..

  58. E.... R....

    2:50

    Good kid reprise

  59. G.... C....

    I realized that when eerie music comes it means betrayal, tears, and fanfiction, like scorpion who tried to kill Percy x Percy ;)

  60. S.... Y....

    Where do you go when it comes to the last day of summer?



    TO SCHOOL

  61. �.... �....

    the music change when percy started talking to luke... chills. literal chills.

  62. K.... N....

    I like the end of this song, reminds me of “Meant to be yours/Our Love is God from Heathers

  63. a.... ....

    I would do anything for Luke, tbh. I live to see this boy happy, I swear.

  64. c.... f....

    Me: knows Luke is going to betray him because I’ve read the books

    Luke: betrays Percy

    Me: :0

  65. A.... L....

    Not. Ready. For. Luke's. Voice.




















    Like holy-. my 11-year-old crush just intensified.

  66. y.... t....

    LUKE. LUKAS. LUKE SON OF HERMES. LUKAS SON OF HERMES. LUKE CASTELLAN SON OF HERMES. LUKAS CASTELLAN, DEMIGOD, SON OF HERMES. WTF ARE YOU DOING. STOP I LOVE YOUU!!!

  67. y.... t....

    Okay, I listened to the beginning of the musical up until where I was in the book, because I was like 10 chapters in the book when I found out about. So, I avoided spoilers till I finished the book. The book is done, and I have not listened to this. Wish me luck. And by that I mean help me stop being gay for Luke because I know he's evil but I still love him :''(

  68. E.... ....

    I just realized annabeth falls down something. in the third book of this and the spin off and why are the blond kids the evil ones like Luke and Octavian, what are you trying to say about dangerous colors rick?

  69. C.... O....

    Luke's singing makes me weep. It's so good DX

  70. J.... J....

    The orcale didn't mean his mom she meant luke

  71. K.... ....

    Imagine the Heroes of olympus musical, Percy and Annabeth in Tartaros with Percy singing Luke's distorted "good kid" part

  72. C.... ....

    *SMALL SPOILERS FOR THE MUSICAL*









    I watched the musical today and at the end of the song Annabeth interrupts the fight and says “it’s over Luke” then Luke responds with “You’re right, its over... for Percy anyway.” And then Luke stabs him, honestly my second favorite part of the musical

  73. I.... H....

    Damn it Luke

  74. S.... S....

    I.. I.. I don't know how the actor who plays Luke also plays Ares..
    It's just..
    It's too impressive.

  75. M.... C....

    This is my favorite song of the whole musical just because of luke's parts.

  76. L.... C....

    Sometimes I imagine that Luke’s eyes are flickering blue to gold and he’s biting his tongue and lip

  77. E.... W....

    When I read this part of the book to my seven year old cousin, she gasped and then whispered in a horrified tone;
    “Luke.. no!”

  78. M.... G....

    I swear this series is determined to follow me everywhere. I read the books, I loved them, they've gotten me through some hard days. I got into musicals, suddenly there's a PJO musical. Where we going now, boys? If I get into animation will there suddenly be an anime?

  79. U.... Y....

    before luke comes in you can hear his vocals like become louder in the chorus “last day of summer...” and i was just like oh god get ready for luke

  80. E.... T....

    okay but this also reminds me of something nico would sing at the end of the second series. "last day of summer" is something he'd sing trying to decide if he should stay or not.

  81. S.... F....

    I love Luke so much. His vocals give me chills every time

  82. K.... B....

    Lowkey, if I was a demigod, I'd probably join Luke. I know he's the supposed antagonist, but I honestly feel for him. He has been there since he was 14, and somewhere in between he became the head counselor to not only his siblings, but all of the unclaimed/the children of minor gods. He had one chance to prove himself, and yet someone else had already done it. He felt like he has been used again and again. And he has.
    We know for a fact that Percy felt/feels the same. Percy has been used again and again for almost 6 years. He's been in the deepest part. But he has survived.
    Luke could have been one of the greats( in my eyes he's one of the greats) Luke had so much potential, but because of his mom's insanity, and because of the the gods neglecting their children, Luke was manipulated. Kronos manipulated Luke, Selina, Ethan, and all of the other demigods.
    All Luke wanted was to have a family. He wanted to be wanted.
    (Sorry for my rant, I could've done an essay on him, but I need to read fanfics)

  83. J.... R....

    okay but how can you possibly hate luke

  84. M.... S....

    Luke: "If it isn't the big hero himself." (Why could you not have died?)
    Percy: Have you been avoiding me?
    Luke: No. (Yes I have.)

  85. S.... L....

    Luke
    “Good!”

    Me
    * crying *

  86. p.... r....

    I'd probably end up like Selena


    I would be willing to do anything if I believed I was helping my friends and not hurting them and putting the gods in their place because they really dont deserve the power they have

    If I were manipulated into thinking kronos and his army would be a better leader yeah, I'd betray my friends

  87. K.... G....

    The music gets eerie-er the more luke talks. Did anyone else notice?

  88. W.... S....

    *I don't care if I hurt anyone*
    Luke- *hurts Annabeth in the Last Olympian and is actually worried and cares*
    Me- BOI

  89. p.... r....

    Who here was surprised at the betrayal first listening


    I wasnt because I've read all the books but just wondering

  90. M.... K....

    i’m not crying. your crying.

  91. T.... R....

    Family, Luke.... you promised

  92. N.... M....

    For those who are here for the good kid parody 3:07. I love how they twist good kid to Luke's part I feel so sad in good kid when percy says "but no one ever will take my side, all I ever do is take the fall" then like comes in like "the gods were never on our side, so I think it's time we watch the fall" and just MY HEART also I found the musical on spotify so I'm a happy camper

  93. E.... R....

    When I read the books at the part where look betrays Percy I was always just kinda mad at Luke for the rest of the series but with this song and the fact that I’m older I can’t help but just empathize with Luke and appreciate how deep of a character he actually is.

  94. C.... S....

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



    Packing for Hogwarts obviously

    C.... S....

    Celaena Sardothien finally do my summer work (which I am doing now, the day before)

    C.... S....

    WHERE EVERYTHING IS MAGI-COOOOOOOOOOOL

    C.... S....

    I know obviously

    C.... S....

    Who here is a slytherin. MEEEEEEEEE

    C.... S....

    Who is hufflepuff fam?
