Forgive Durden – The End And The Beginning lyrics

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.
You're a fool to think this princess could ever really love a couple of poor boys like us.
She requires riches, recherche, riding with rodomontading roues.

Casanovas have charmed with chiffons, so chichi.
Chased her with their conceited coteries.
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 rulers' sizable chateaus.

And I'm the one she chose!

I understand how you can love a man of true soul.
Why don't you just ask him where he spent his youth?
O, 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 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 athumping!

Brother, NO!

Brother, what have I done?
My blade has pierced your side.
This was never my intent, O 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 breathing. Just keep breathing.

You will take care of this spinning sphere
I'll disappear and stay away from you.
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 from any scope.
