ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Why?
Why was I born the son of a famed corsair?
Why couldn't I have been a simple abbeymouse?
Or even a horderat?
Life would have been so much easier.
But maybe It's better this way.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Maybe some good came out of it
I would never have left the ship,
Never have had a life of my own,
Never have died so young.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Couldn't they see?
Couldn't they see I didn't want this life,
Didn't want them to suffer this way,
Didn't they see I had no choice?

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Or did I?
Not that it matters now
It's too late,
Too late for me to see the truth,
Too late for all of us

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

I see her kneeling beside me there,
See the tears running down her pretty face,
I want to take her in my arms,
Tell her everything's gonna be okay
But it's not.

Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please...

Mira left fortress Marshank for the last time that night, her small daughter in her arms. There was nothing there for her anymore. Nothing there but memories.

Such was the fate of the Lord of Marshank and his Lady.
