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
/maj7
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
"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
Silly boy, you speak of fiction
/maj7
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
/maj7
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
Through suffering you'll atone
Dear Pallis, 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
(HAVE FUN!!)
