Things are bad in Ember and only getting worse. Those who realize that Ember is dying dream of escaping to a better place.

lyrics

The power is failing.
We're hanging by a thread.
People are stealing.
We're barely keeping fed.
Answers are coming.
That's what the mayor said.
But the mayor is lying, and people are dying.
I wish I were flying out over Ember!

Escape! Escape! Escape! Escape!
If only we could escape Escape!
Escape! Escape! Escape!
How do we escape?

People are grousing.
Ember is a cage.
Darkness is closing.
End of an age.
Our book is ending,
so flip another page.
We keep on trying. The dark is denying.
I wish I were flying out over Ember!

Escape! Escape! Escape! Escape!
If only we could escape Escape!
Escape! Escape! Escape!
How do we escape?

Goodbye darkness, hello light
Goodbye hunger lies and fright
Goodbye nightmares, goodbye screams
Hello freedom, food and dreams

The power is failing.
We're hanging by a thread.
People are stealing.
We're barely keeping fed.
Answers are coming.
That's what the mayor said.
But the mayor is lying, and people are dying.
I wish I were flying out over Ember!

Escape! Escape! Escape! Escape!
