about

In this chapter, Prill goes to a rowdy tavern in order to find out the whereabouts of Fothcrah. He ends up getting very intoxicated, dancing with a prostitute, and ultimately finding out where he needs to go next.

lyrics

As I sat alone,
My low, rose eyes scoured the tavern
In that mass of riffraff,
Maybe I'd find an outcast that had whipped the chance I pined

A darkness flowed beside me
It smelled of rain and low tide
Curious, I queried for a dance
Them' types of mirrors?
They show things they don't mean to

How she would cough the cue
The music blared
We swirled and dipped
I draped a mask and swaggered like I'd been a mess
My breath was foul with ale and smoke and fumes
This drunken stalemate had locked me where I stood

And as she blathered horns of nonsense,
Not soon enough, she burnished my covet-prize
And like a fool, I set out into the storm
And like a fool, pursued

The plan is to release five concept albums all surrounding a character named, "Prill," who is a plesiosaur hunter on a quest to better his life, but everything he does just adds to his own delusion and lack of self-worth. The music is the musical interpretation of a book series I have been writing called, "From Windfall To Hell." ... more
