I'll agree that the song was amazing, particularly Urie's performance, but it fails horribly as an ending.
What happened to the pact between Damuya and Anhura? Why did Adakias have to die to fulfill the prophecy?
I have a theory as to the last question, but it's a bit sketchy. I think that Adakias' death was foretold in the prophecy, unbeknownst to the audience. Not only does this make Adakias' dedication to the prophecy all the more prominent, it also offers Pallis an alternative motive for his actions, besides just wanting Adakias to stay at home. It makes him seem a bit nobler, I think; he was just trying to save his brother.
But, as this is a musical, someone shouldn't have to look that deep for such a prominent plot-point. There definitely should've been a song after this. Besides, it still does nothing to answer what happened to Damuya and Anhura.
