Текст Forgive Durden – The Exit

Adakias (Thomas Dutton):
Look at all that which surrounds me
I’m supposed to call this home
The dark has become so overwhelming

Sangara (Dan Young):
Why can’t you be more like your brother?
Together you would rule the throne
The 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? Well, 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

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 (Brendon Urie):
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 short-sighted
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
Where 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That had kept him withdrawn.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?
