1.
this is the story of my life I just keep running away from all of my problems but now I see all was folly It doesn't matter at all, here is the tale of my fall from nothing to glory and back I must make a name for myself, my legacy
2.
Overboard fall into the open ocean I regret Everything that led me to this I could have avoided all this running away, there'll be hell to pay don't tell me I'll not amount to anything, I'll prove you wrong so I'll take a ship, to the land of promises how can I get away? down I go, knocked over the rail Face turning ever more pale so the sea swallows up me, as I sink ever deeper I find that I am able to breathe breathe amidst the beasts below Breathe
3.
You will never find me here Down below With all you fear You will never find me here Never find me here Throughout all the years Stay away from here You will never find me Now Do my eyes Deceive me Or is that really a merman indeed Binding My hands With some alien metal Take me to your leader (growl) Walking Into The throne room I see the King under the sea Put on trial No chance to defend Criminal vile To prison send My fault for stormy seas My fault for stormy seas Step this way if you please Thrown in prison locked in with key
4.
I thought there was justice in the World How was I supposed to know This world is ruled by tyranists and no one comes to my assist I know I could've ruled the world long live the king
5.
What has happened to me Sitting in this prison My thoughts to myself Thinking of my old family Just want to see their faces again And not iron bars Then an appearing light A mermaid walks through the door I've come to rescue I could not just sit by Your punishment does not fit the crime And so she opened The locked Cell door
6.
Open the door I must get out of here I'll be indebted to you all my years So we swam For our lives Pursued by dozens Taking shortcuts and back alleyways Finally losing Our pursuers Leaving the city behind I turn and say Thank you for your rescue, I am in debt Anything to help an enemy of the king What is your name? What should I call you? I go, by the, name of Leria So what shall we do? Where do we go to now? To my father's house he will hide you What then, what then? Will I live as a fugitive? Maybe, but we'll see, there might be another way To the home of the traitor Leader of the rebellion Gather the enemies of the all controlling Tyrannical dictator ruling under the sea How can we try to survive How can we do more and thrive How can we try to survive
7.
War of irenicism War on your household to bring us peace If there's no way to resolve this it means war
8.
As we swim down in the pitch black abyss Our eyes adjust and I see just how empty it is Maybe this is what you were really afraid of Sticking to the landlocked regions above Breathe and know you're alive Dont know if I'll survive All we are is who we want to be I don't want to be alone Alone at last Is this , really, what you want
9.
Open up your eyes to this Evil kingdom of lies This false city will crumble On its sandy shaking and shifting foundation One day You will see This nation Turn around And arise
10.
When you find peace in this life You will see the error of your ways I pray it's not too late Destroy the machine of tyrannist hate Destroy
11.
Years ago When I first arrived I didn't understand What was going on Now I do Ages and ages of dictators ruling We need someone More kind and fair I would rule with justice and kindness Dethrone the current monarchy Let us go To the battlefield Just one more fight To end all this chaos and war All I want Is justice for the wronged Follow me, to the end of this tyranny Go to the battlefield Go there and do not yield Go
12.
As the armies fought Upon the ocean floor Neither side giving in I saw before me Such evil hatred Despicable ignorance Maybe we'll see Who's the better king now King of all and sundry I hope you know now Just what your reign has caused Maybe I'll be someone better Looking Around I saw the king of The sea and moved to attack He and I Clashed together As we fought I said my peace "How can you Rule the sea With an iron fist and no mercy" Sword on sword clanged as the others fought around us I could finally see who was winning the fight Numbers were on their side but not the will to win Seeing truth the dictator threw his sword on the ground "I can see I have lost" Our side rejoiced as we took our prisoners Then the whole realm was at peace Soon after that I was crowned ruler supreme But the story's not Over in the least After my coronation I got trapped while I was Exploring a trench Rocks trapped me inside a tunnel My mind racing to find A way out but it's clear There's no escape Rocks behind me and A tunnel ahead Only one thing I can do There is nothing for me to do but to go on
13.
Walls all around me to say Trapped here with no way out There's no escape for you today No escape
