The End and the Beginning Songtext
von Forgive Durden

I′ve been tracing your steps
Along with your dainty, exquisite guest
Across mountain land and serpentine seas
These two have been on quite an odyssey

But 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

Casanovas have charmed with chiffons, so chi-chi
Chased her with their conceited coteries
Maharajahs have magniloquently mouthed
Their love for me through their menageries

She′s been propositioned, propounded by every pompous prince
Given panniers of peerless pears and plums, polished
I've been seduced with shimmering, sparkling stones
Squired by suitors to sizable chateaus
And I'm the one she chose!


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

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

I'm sure that she would care to hear your argument
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
Brother no!

Brother, what have I done?
My blade has pierced your side
This was never my intent
Oh God, please stay alive

Dear Pallis, you're my brother
You've tried to protect me
But your dagger′s edge found in my flesh
It truly was my destiny


Brother, I was shortsighted
I ignored your cries
You really are the chosen one
The calculated sacrifice

Please listen to my last words
Before I fade away
This is my gift to you
Live for your love every day

Please don′t let your tired heart stop beating
You're bleeding
Just keep breathing

You will take care of this spinning sphere
I′ll disappear and stay away from here

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

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
