Adakias
Look at all that which surrounds me. I’m supposed to call this home? The dark is become so overwhelming, so why don’t I just go?
Sangara & Townsfolk
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 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 & Townsfolk
Silly boy, you speak of fiction. Silly boy, you can’t just leave everything for some fairytale ending, myth or legend.
Adakias
O, what’s the use? Maybe they’re right. What’s the point in 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 & Townsfolk
You’re a reckless and romantic rouge. 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 short sighted, naïve 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.
Narration
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 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 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 His hope was left strong that a meaning would be found, that had kept him withdrawn.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 and she suffered from the same strife. And like Adakias, she spent most of her time dreaming of a different life.
Princess Anhura
Don’t you ever feel like you’ve been destined for something bigger than your skin?
Here are the lyrics from the booklet:
