Forgive Durden - The Exit lyrics

Adakias 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 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 The 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 Adakias 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 that you see It's just my pedigree Sangara 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 Adakias 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 You are so foolish The Dark has been your home If you elope, I'll hunt you down Through suffering you'll atone Adakias Dear Pallis, you're my brother You've loved 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 lights shine 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 this new life He contemplated and hated Why had he waited 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 He took a deep breath He was finally gone His hope was left strong That a meaning would be found That had kept him withdrawn His stare had caught a light And he fell for the sight Her name was Princess Anhura And she suffered from the same strife And like Adakias, she spent most of her time Dreaming of a different life Anhura Don't you ever feel like you've been destined For something bigger than your skin?
