[Pallis (played by Brendon Urie):]
|
I've been tracing your steps along with your dainty, exquisite guest.
|
Across mountain land and serpentine seas, these two have been on quite an odyssey.
|
You're a fool to think this princess could ever really love a couple of poor boys like us.
|
She requires riches, recherche, riding with rodomontading roues.
|
|
[Adakias (played by Thomas Dutton):]
|
Casanovas have charmed with chiffons, so chichi.
|
Chased her with their conceited coteries.
|
|
[Princess Anhura (played by Greta Salpeter):]
|
Maharajahs have magniloquently mouthed their love for me through their menageries.
|
|
[Adakias (played by Thomas Dutton):]
|
She's been propositioned, propounded, by every pompous prince,
|
Given panniers of peerless pears and plums, polished.
|
|
[Princess Anhura (played by Greta Salpeter):]
|
I've been seduced with shimmering, sparkling, stones,
|
Squired by suitors to sizable chateaus.
|
|
[Adakias (played by Thomas Dutton):]
|
And I'm the one she chose!
|
|
[Pallis (played by Brendon Urie):]
|
I understand how you can love a man of truth, so
|
Why don't you just ask him where he spent his youth?
|
Oh, look at her face!
|
She really doesn't see that you are from the dark
|
And you've been lying through your teeth.
|
|
[Adakias (played by Thomas Dutton):]
|
Anhura, please listen, I really can explain.
|
I meant to tell you sooner, it's been gnawing at my brain.
|
Now you know the truth, but that knowledge
|
Shouldn't change the nature of our love;
|
We've broken through the chains.
|
|
[Pallis (played by Brendon Urie):]
|
I'm sure that she would care to hear your acumen
|
As to how your presence is the reason she is sick.
|
But I suppose it's in vain since her life is ending,
|
When I thrust this blade into her heart athumping!
|
|
[Adakias (played by Thomas Dutton):]
|
Brother, NO!
|
|
[Pallis (played by Brendon Urie):]
|
Brother, what have I done?
|
My blade has pierced your side.
|
This was never my intent, O God, please stay alive!
|
|
[Adakias (played by Thomas Dutton):]
|
Dear Pallis, you're my brother, you've tried to protect me.
|
But your dagger's edge found in my flesh, it truly was my destiny.
|
|
[Pallis (played by Brendon Urie):]
|
Brother, I was shortsighted. I ignored your cries.
|
You really are the chosen one, the calculated sacrifice!
|
|
[Adakias (played by Thomas Dutton):]
|
Please listen to my last words, before I fade away.
|
This is my gift to you: live for your love every day.
|
|
[Pallis (played by Brendon Urie):]
|
Please don't let your tired heart stop beating.
|
You're breathing. Just keep breathing.
|
|
[Heart beats.]
|
|
[Adakias (played by Thomas Dutton):]
|
You will take care of this spinning sphere
|
I'll disappear and stay away.
|
Now you'll place your hand on mine, one last time, and kiss me goodbye.
|
Take the love inside my mind, before I die.
|
Place your hand on mine, one last time, and kiss me goodbye.
|
Take the love inside my mind, before I die.
|
Please don't cry.
|
|
[The Narrator (played by Aaron Weiss)]
|
The mountains seceded. The light and dark depleted.
|
We lost Adakias, but regained our science.
|
Our world was finally reunited.
|
So this is my cue of where to leave you.
|
Now it's your story to retell and pass on.
|
Because an idea is only relevant if it's being thought upon.
|
So remember, never surrender.
|
'Cause the unrelenting constancy of love and hope
|
Will rescue and restore from any scope.
