[ti:The Exit] [ar:Forgive Durden] [al:Razia's Shadow: A Musical] [00:-04.00]Forgive Durden - The Exit [00:-01.00] [00:00.51]Look at that which surrounds me [00:04.65]I'm supposed to call this home [00:08.99]The dark has become so overwhelming [00:13.92]So why don't I just go [00:21.87]Why can't you just be more like your brother? [00:26.68]Together you would rule the throne [00:29.21]Evil and darkness would grow [00:32.01]This kingdom needs you [00:34.67]"Why can't you just be more like Pallis?" they always ask [00:38.95]Could this feeling deep in me be the prophecy? [00:42.65]As a child I heard such wonderful stories [00:46.34]Of lamps, and the oracle, and holy the sea [00:50.56]Silly boy, you speak of fiction [00:53.37]Silly boy, you can't just leave them [00:57.50]Reaching for some fairy tale ending [01:01.13]Myth or legend [01:04.12]Oh, what's the use maybe they're right [01:08.16]What's the point of dreaming [01:10.89]If it can never materialize?

[02:31.41] [02:52.50]You are so foolish [02:55.96]The dark has been your home [02:58.55]If you elope, I'll hunt you [03:01.06]Through suffering you'll atone [03:03.59]Dear Pallis, you're my brother [03:05.97]You looked and watched over me [03:08.73]But there's something bigger at stake [03:11.37]My purpose is this journey [03:14.36]Brother, you are shortsighted [03:16.75]Naive and starry-eyed [03:19.36]You are not the chosen one [03:22.09]This will be your demise [03:24.90]Brother, I can't help this feeling [03:27.61]My heart tells me to run [03:30.32]You were meant to rule the dark [03:32.99]I was meant to see the sun [03:35.98]Don't you ever dream of some place better [03:41.90]When the light shines brighter? [03:46.63]Don't you ever feel like you've been destined [03:52.90]For something bigger than your skin? [04:01.12]I think I'll just go [04:10.79] [04:15.86]"Adakias, tired of fiction [04:19.72]And bound by his ambition [04:21.94]Left his home for the city of light [04:25.13]Disguised as a citizen [04:27.55]His identity was hidden [04:29.49]Within in a city that sat glistening [04:31.73]He was eager for his new life [04:34.79]He contemplated and hated [04:37.05]Why had he waited for so long [04:38.86]To flee his home forever shaded, [04:41.97]Where the jaded are never wrong? [04:46.03]He took a deep breath [04:48.46]He was finally gone [04:50.63]His hope was left strong [04:52.40]That a meaning would be found [04:54.32]That had kept him withdrawn [04:56.16]His stare had caught a light [04:58.61]And he fell for the sight [05:01.30]Her name was Princess Anhura [05:04.67]She suffered from the same strife [05:07.30]And like Adakias, [05:11.02]She spent most of her time [05:12.77]Dreaming of a different life." [05:15.11]Don't you ever feel like you've been destined [05:23.71]For something bigger than your skin? [05:31.89]
