The End of the Beginning

歌詞

Pallis I've been tracing your steps Along with your dainty, exquisite guest Across mountain land and serpentining seas These two have been on quite an odyssey You're a fool to think this princess Could ever really love a couple of poor boys like us She requires riches, recherché Riding with rodomontading roués Adakias Casanovas have charmed with chiffons, so chichi Chased her with their conceited coteries Anhura Maharajahs have magniloquently mouthed Their love for me through their menageries Adakias She's been propositioned, propounded, by every pompous prince Given panniers of peerless pears and plums, polished Adakias I've been seduced with shimmering, sparkling stones Squired by suitors to sizable chateaus Adakias And I'm the one she chose! Pallis I understand how you can love a man of truth So why don't you just ask him where he spent his youth? Oh, look at her face! She really doesn't see that you are from the dark And you've been lying through your teeth Adakias Anhura, please listen, I really can explain I meant to tell you sooner, it's been gnawing at my brain Now you know the truth, but that knowledge Shouldn't change the nature of our love We've broken through the chains Pallis I'm sure that she would care to hear your acumen As to how your presence is the reason she is sick But I suppose it's in vain, since her life is ending When I thrust this blade into her heart-a-thumping! Adakias Brother, NO! Pallis Brother, what have I done? My blade has pierced your side This was never my intent Oh God, please stay alive! Adakias Dear Pallis, you're my brother You've tried to protect me But your dagger's edge finding my flesh It truly was my destiny Pallis Brother, I was shortsighted I ignored your cries You really are the chosen one The calculated sacrifice! Adakias Please listen to my last words Before I fade away This is my gift to you: Live for your love every day Pallis Please don't let your tired heart stop beating You're bleeding Just keep breathing Adakias You will take care of this spinning sphere I'll disappear and see you in the mirror Place your hand on mine, one last time, and kiss me goodbye Take the love inside my mind, before I die Place your hand on mine, one last time, and kiss me goodbye Take the love inside my mind, before I die Please don't cry Narrator The mountains seceded The light and dark depleted We lost Adakias, but regained our science Our world was finally reunited So this is my cue of where to leave you Now it's your story to retell and pass on Because an idea is only relevant if it's being thought upon So remember, never surrender 'Cause the unrelenting constancy of love and hope Will rescue and restore you from any scope
