It would make sense for it to be an equally ridiculous 30 minute track, probably with an epic 14 minute bass solo from Joey as he tells his interpretation of Odysseus' encounter with the cyclops Polyphemus. I think you may be right. There's a leaked track list that points in that direction:
The Revenge of Odysseus
01 Athena’s Theme (Ins.) 02 Telemachus – Part I (with Konstantinos Kazakos and Sakis Tolis) (Ancient Greek) 03 I Play the Bass Guitar (Ins.) 04 Where Eagles Fly (with Chiara Tricarico) 05 Happy Birthday, Sarah Brightman (A Capella) 06 Drum Solo, Totally Unrelated to the Rest of this Epic Journey – Part I, Chapter 1, Floor 2 07 Odysseus and Calypso – The Island of Ogygia (with Kostas Kazakos) (Ancient Greek) 08 Strings of Iron (Ins.) 09 Hmmlbdb (with Arnold Schwarzenegger) (Ancient Enochian) 10 I Play the Bass Guitar Again (Ins.) 11 Heartbreak Hotel / Blue Suede Shoes / The Star-Spangled Banner (Odysseus in America) 12 Immortal 13 Raise your Fist and Die
There are also leaked lyrics…
Raise your Fist and Die
Brothers in Valhalla Who Died in Battle Fair, Let thy Glory shine on all the Brothers Everywhere.
Elysium, I'm Coming, I am nearly There, With the Blood of False Metal on my Sword – And Wind in my Hair.
Chorus: Raise your Fist in the Mist And Die For the Glory of the Eagles In the Sky, For they will always Fly, They will never Kneel, Fly on the Wind that was Born… … - Like a Fart of Steel.
May your Winds stay Wet, The Bubbles Nice and Brown, The Cloud of Death and Glory – May Rise and be your Crown.
Your Fast Car be your Horse, The Battlefield your Town, The Cloud of Death and Glory And Thunder be your Crown.
Chorus: Raise your Fist in the Mist And Die For the Glory of the Eagles In the Sky, For they will always Fly, They will never Kneel, Fly on the Wind that was Born… … - Like a Fart of Steel.
Stand and Fart, Live by your Heart, Let thy Valkyries fly, Don't be Afraid to Die, Stand and Fart, Say what you Feel, Stand tall and never Kneel.
Die, die, die – with your Crown On, Die, die, die – with a Beer in your Hand, Die, die, die – and Hail to the Brothers Who Make a Stand For Honor and Glory, Valor and Pride, With Blood on their Swords, Stand and Fart… and DIEEEEEE!
… and a leaked snippet from an interview with the bass player (a true businessman) and Vyvyenne Chatterdell from TrueMetalNews:
Vyvyenne Chatterdell: "I've heard your new album is about Odysseus…"
Dr. Joy: "That was a hero of sorts in Ancient Grease."
Vyvyenne Chatterdell: "When was that?"
Dr. Joy: "Years ago. Look, we don't concern ourselves with today's politics. We write from the hh-heart. The new epic Manowar masterpiece has 13 phenomenal tracks, including a programmed 9 minute drum solo - and that's not even counting the boner tracks. One is called "Blood on your Sword", and, uhm, it's against menstruation, or, as the Ancient Geeks called it: 'men's true aching'".
Vyvyenne Chatterdell: "Interesting. Is it worth abolishing?"
Dr. Joy: "Of course it is."
Vyvyenne Chatterdell: "That sounds quite current… and topical."
Dr. Joy: "Look, we always concern ourselves with today's politics. After all, there's only one planet Earth, and we have to take care of it. By the way, the new cover artwork, by none other than Dick Longish, is a grand new masterpiece. To be honest, it is the best artwork that ever had the privilege to grace a Manowar sleeve. Ta-dah, here it is! Just look at them boobs... And, no, I don't mean the girls."
Vyvyenne Chatterdell: "You're quite old. I mean, like, really old. Can you still get erections and stuff?"
Dr. Joy: "Of course. Look… "
Vyvyenne Chatterdell: "Interesting. Can I touch it?"
Dr. Joy: "No… I mean, yes, but that's $50 for you."
Vyvyenne Chatterdell: "You're quite expensive."
Dr. Joy: "I'm not your pleasure slave. But you'll get your money's worth."
Vyvyenne Chatterdell: "And an autograph?"
Dr. Joy: "That's $150.99."
Vyvyenne Chatterdell: "I only have $45. I think I'll take the…"
Dr. Joy: "Too late, it's gone."
Vyvyenne Chatterdell: "What a bummer."
Dr. Joy: "Anyway, the new album is a true masterpiece and a true… oh, look, it's back!"
Vyvyenne Chatterdell: "Amazing. How'd you do that?"
The following clip suggests there's just no end to the leakage:
