Look at all that which surrounds me   I'm supposed to call this home   The dark has become so overwhelming   So why don't I just go?      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      Why can't you just be more like Palis? 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      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   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?      You are so foolish   The dark has been your home   If you elope, I'll hunt you down   Through suffering you'll atone      Dear Palis, you're my brother   You looked and watched over me   But there's something bigger at stake   My purpose is this journey      Brother, you are shortsighted   Naive and starry-eyed   You are not the chosen one   This will be your demise      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      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 long   To flee his home forever shaded   Where the jaded were 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took a deep breath   He was finally gone   His hope was left strong   That a meaning would be found   That had kept him withdrawn      His stare had caught a light   And he fell for the sight   Her name was princess Anhura   She suffered from the same strife   And like Adakias, she spent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      Don't you ever feel like you've been destined   For something bigger than your skin?
