The lyrics to Gerard Marino's God of War III Overture describe the vengeance and wrath of the game's protagonist, Kratos. "Kratos thimos" translates to "Kratos' wrath" in Greek, which is fitting as Kratos is known for his intense anger towards the gods. The repetition of this phrase throughout the song emphasizes the magnitude of Kratos' fury and his ultimate goal of seeking revenge against those who wronged him.
The lyrics also mention the "telos," which means "end" or "conclusion" in Greek. This refers to Kratos' desire to finally end his battle against the gods and achieve his ultimate goal. The line "to telos arxizei" translates to "the end begins" and sets the tone for the song's escalating intensity.
