about

In this chapter, Demetrius has let Prill go, and Prill makes his way through the tunnels towards Reflaugh's chambers. He is then attacked by a group of strange, wheeled constructs called, "Demetriducts." They quickly overwhelm him, and Prill is thrown into a crystallized prison. Here, Prill is forced to further look upon his failures as he realizes how weak and incapable he is. Still... he does not want to take the responsibility for his actions. He continues to wear his crown of pride and ego.

lyrics

To your eyes, I might seem half alive
But to me, fiction swirled and wrote my story
-Possibly told allegory
In hindsight, I should have stepped light
But it's too late
Deception had no meaning—the mask was torn
I charged for I'm no coward!
But I suppose I failed
I tried to take this hour!
But I suppose I failed

There's only so much amends can change
Before boiling over
And all that I'd gained meant nothing to me
For I was left field
Wanting to rid me of her haunting
And nothing real could stop me!
But the faster I'd run,
The tighter the fangs of the crest took hold

Wide-eyed and turned around
A stone pound in the chest—denied and downed
But I still wore my crown
When all odds are stacked against me
And all courage split,
I’ll stand my ground with a prideful prowess
-Heavy is the crown

I thought that I was bleeding virtue
Bakarum, bakarum
But all I ever did was hurt you
Bakarum, bakarum
And as she plays her heart before me,
Put to sleep by her song
I promised never to desert you…
Bakarum, bakarum!
Still lying to myself
Come join my treasured collection of tales
Beneath the onus upon my height,
Was there a sliver of the man I used to be?

Wide-eyed and turned around
A stone pound in the chest—denied and downed
But I still wore my crown
When all odds are stacked against me
And all courage split,
I’ll stand my ground with a prideful prowess

Heavy, the sucker’s crown

about

Hungry Lights

Hungry Lights is my solo music project. 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
