An eternity ago I was born into this world
An abnormality of crumbled time
Trapped inside of a golden lamp
Waiting to be woken from this sleep
Over and over again I was subject to selfish desires
Each were more grotesque than the last
“Money and fame” is what they say
Their eyes were shining brighter than gold
Endless wishes and eternal greed
Passing me all around
Bound in my prison and used for gain
How can I escape this fate?
A wealthy life is a happy one
People to cater to you
On this ship I am the captain
So could you all.. FETCH ME MORE GOLD!
Then I was discovered by lowly pirates
The lamp seemed just like useless junk
But on the captain’s orders I was caught
Brought back to the ship to meet my fate...
Endless wishes and eternal greed
Passing me all around
Bound in my prison and used for gain
How can I escape this fate?
Through the storm there had to be some light
A path to sail on to salvation
If I use this man’s wealthy disposition
Then maybe I can escape to freedom!
This….this lamp! I have been searching after hearing the legend from the stories of the Siren!
I just rub it here and ...uuuOOOOAAAWAA
What is your wish?
I wish for… Money!
Gold and money!
MONEY!
Gold and money!
For that he paid the price
That oh so heavy price
Too heavy for his ego
The gold poured down
Raining from the sky onto his boat, the riches wouldn’t stop
After long the boat started to sink but he was too indulged with his hail of gold
Sinking ship
(Money!)
Too much gold
(Gold and money!)
Freedom!
(MONEY!)
Too much gold
(Gold and money!)

When you’ve got nowhere to go
Falling doesn’t seem so slow
Twisting life above my grave
Recklessness makes us so brave
A soldier sent to war with the hopes and dreams to return
Forever and nevermore
I can’t let go of my insanity
Saying goodbye to the falling sky
When you’re on the other side
Let the past become your guide
Trying not to fall back down
Assemble your broken crown
Why do we go so far? Then we realising what we’ve become
Forever and nevermore
I can’t let go of my insanity
Saying goodbye to the falling sky
I surrender to my dark reveries
Saying goodbye to the falling sky
Never Never Never again
Never Never Never again now
I can’t let go of my insanity
Saying goodbye to the falling sky
I surrender to my dark reveries
Saying goodbye to the falling sky

Dancing upon a fragile world
Just one wrong step, it might just crack
Nurture it well, and surely it will bloom
Reaching for the light is fruitless in the end
I’ve bestowed unto you
And offered freedom
But everything is mine in this kingdom
Blessings on this world, that you and I can satisfy
Granted upon these ungrateful things
Poisonous vines have got you all entwined
Run, and then I’ll clip those wings
The children of mine have roles to play
One step out of line, a price they’ll pay!
Soon he will learn
There’s more to life out there
But to uphold order, you’re bound to your prison
Blessings on this world, that you and I can satisfy
Granted upon these ungrateful things
Poisonous vines have got you all entwined
Run, and then I’ll clip those wings
I’ve given everything
And nothing in return
Why are you neglecting me, your superior?!
Blessings on this world, that you and I can satisfy
Granted upon these ungrateful things
Poisonous vines have got you all entwined
Run, and then I’ll clip those wings

Ever since I was a boy, I had the eye for talent
And on the day that I met her, I felt for the first time
She was sitting by the shore, the was wind flowing through her hair
I wanted to reach out to her, but I was too scared
I spent my youth alone, with nothing on my mind until I saw…
Her passion overtaking me, and the sparkle in her eyes
Her melodies are resounding, all across the ocean
The way that she would dance around had got me mesmerized
Lit the flame inside of me, the one that I never knew I had
I knew it from that day, she was the one for me
I fell in love with her... fiery blazing passion!
And everyday after school, I would head back to the beach
I’d listen to her sing, until the sun had set
I could not build up my courage, to even speak to her at all
It was her who came to me, who saw me all along
We were both feeling alone, until the day we met, and then I felt...
Her passion overtaking me, and the sparkle in her eyes
Her melodies are resounding, all across the ocean
The way that she would dance around, had got me mesmerized
Lit the flame inside of me, the one that I never knew I had
I knew it from that day, she was the one for me
I fell in love with her... fiery blazing passion!
Inspired by her love, I’d written her a song, for her to sing~
Then one day she said to me, she wasn’t feeling well
Took my hand and held it close, but it felt so weak
She told me she did not have much, time left in this world
I promised I would not forget, the passion that she showed me
Her passion overtaking me, and the sparkle in her eyes
Her melodies are resounding, all across the ocean
The way that she would dance around had got me mesmerized
Lit the flame inside of me, the one that I never knew I had
Looking back to those days, where I’d fell in love
She showed me how to feel... fiery blazing passion!
Fiery Blazing Passion!!
