Another week, another \u2018behind the music\u2019! We\u2019ll take a look at Escape from Darkness this
\ntime, the dark side to the story of \u2018Avalon\u2019.<\/p>\n
Remember when we said that \u2018the darkness\u2019 that the wanderer encountered in the first two
\nsongs was just part of a bad dream? Well, what if it wasn\u2019t? Or what if he has never woken
\nup in the first place? Something about that new world that the wanderer has discovered
\nbehind that mysterious door in \u2018Avalon\u2019 seems off and this song is like a revelation.<\/p>\n
Where \u2018Avalon\u2019 ended on the words \u201cI don\u2019t want to leave\u201d and the ticking of the clock,
\n\u2018Escape from Darkness\u2019 starts with a dark and eerie vibe and the words of the wanderer: \u201cI
\nlook back into the night, as the time is slowly ticking by.\u201d The music has changed from the
\nhopeful and exciting sound of \u2018Avalon\u2019, to something darker: the evil side of the world the
\nwanderer has discovered.<\/p>\n
The beautiful light the wanderer was told to follow now seems very faint and far away and
\nthat same darkness from his earlier encounter is back to lure him in. He was too eager to
\ndiscover the magical world he had found and made the mistake to go too far into this realm.
\nThe strong magic he had felt changed into something darker, something that now burns
\ninside of him. He seems unable to shake it off and he\u2019s aware of it. \u201cI wish that I knew how
\nto escape, the night is in my heart and it burns in me,\u201d are his words in the chorus.<\/p>\n
In the second verse the wanderer seems almost in a state of madness. While he\u2019s running
\naway from the darkness, a voice in his head keeps telling him the opposite things to do. At
\nthis point he\u2019s no longer sure if the world he has found is real, or if he has never woken up
\nfrom his dream.<\/p>\n
Unlike when he first discovered the new world behind the door, the wanderer is no longer
\nenchanted by his surroundings, but sees it for what it truly is. As he desperately tries to
\nfollow his sanity, the menacing voice is back calling out for him and this time he hears it loud
\nand clear: \u201cPoor thing, were you planning to escape? Were you fooled by hope once more?
\nYou know what is in your heart, you will never leave this place!\u201d The music swells with a
\nmenacing choir and manic laughter follows the voice\u2019s words. Will he be able to find his way
\nout of this?<\/p>\n
Stay tuned for the rest of the story, see you next week!<\/p>\n
I look back into the night
\nAs the time is slowly ticking by
\nWill I find the way through the dark
\nLost inside an evil nightmare<\/p>\n
I can hear the gleaming from afar
\nThe light is calling me to be my guide
\nI wish that I knew how to escape
\nThe night is in my heart and it burns in me<\/p>\n
I keep running to the sound
\nI can feel the darkness chasing me (catch me!)
\nThoughts of hope keep me from looking back (look back\u2026)
\nIs it real or will I die here<\/p>\n
Oh, the light is calling me to be my guide
\nOh, the night is in my heart and it burns in me<\/p>\n
Poor thing, were you planning to escape
\nWere you fooled by hope once more
\nYou know what is in your heart
\nYou will never leave this place<\/p>\n
