[Adakias (Thomas Dutton):]
|
Look at that which surrounds me
|
I'm supposed to call this home
|
The dark has become so overwhelming
|
So why don't I just go
|
|
[Sangara (Dan Young):]
|
Why can't you just be more like your brother?
|
Together you would rule the throne
|
Evil and darkness would grow
|
This kingdom needs you
|
|
[Adakias:]
|
"Why can't you just be more like Pallis?" they always ask
|
Could this feeling deep in me be the prophecy?
|
As a child I heard such wonderful stories
|
Of lamps, and the oracle, and holy the sea
|
|
[Sangara:]
|
Silly boy, you speak of fiction
|
Silly boy, you can't just leave them
|
Reaching for some fairy tale ending
|
Myth or legend
|
|
Oh, what's the use maybe they're right
|
What's the point of dreaming
|
If it can never materialize?
|
Townsfolk are ashamed
|
Why can't I live up to my family name?
|
Well it's not me, but you see it's just my pedigree
|
|
You're a reckless and romantic rogue
|
Your head is in the clouds
|
You'll be chained here all your life
|
Shackled to the ground
|
You're not the chosen one
|
|
Don't you ever dream of some place better
|
Or a life that's greater
|
Don't you ever feel like you've been destined
|
For something bigger than your skin?
|
|
[Pallis (Brendan Urie):]
|
You are so foolish
|
The dark has been your home
|
If you elope, I'll hunt you
|
Through suffering you'll atone
|
|
[Adakias:]
|
Dear Pallis, you're my brother
|
You looked and watched over me
|
But there's something bigger at stake
|
My purpose is this journey
|
|
[Pallis:]
|
Brother, you are shortsighted
|
Naive and starry-eyed
|
You are not the chosen one
|
This will be your demise
|
|
[Adakias:]
|
Brother, I can't help this feeling
|
My heart tells me to run
|
You were meant to rule the dark
|
I was meant to see the sun
|
|
Don't you ever dream of some place better
|
When the light shines brighter?
|
Don't you ever feel like you've been destined
|
For something bigger than your skin?
|
|
I think I'll just go
|
|
[Narrator:]
|
"Adakias, tired of fiction and bound by his ambition
|
Left his home for the city of light
|
Disguised as a citizen his identity was hidden
|
Within in a city that sat glistening
|
He was eager for his new life
|
He contemplated and hated
|
Why had he waited for so long
|
To flee his home forever shaded, where the jaded are never wrong?
|
He took a deep breath
|
He was finally gone
|
His hope was left strong
|
That a meaning would be found
|
That had kept him withdrawn
|
His stare had caught a light
|
And he fell for the sight
|
Her name was Princess Anhura
|
She suffered from the same strife
|
And like Adakias, she spent most of her time
|
Dreaming of a different life."
|
|
[Anhura (Greta Salpeter)]
|
Don't you ever feel like you've been destined
|
For something bigger than your skin?
