about

In this chapter, Prill does not really understand how to read the map, and he will not let anybody else see it, so he gets them all lost. The crew further lose faith in him as a captain, and then he accidentally leads them into the lair of a hydra, and of course, he tries to kill it by cutting off its head. As he fights the beast, more and more heads keep sprouting, and it is not long before Prill and the crew are completely overwhelmed.

lyrics

Fed us doubt just to see us cower

Trouble comes in pairs
I could’ve heed this warning,
But I was busy removing the head of a hydra
-Dead to rights was it

Was there anything you could’ve said
To provoke a good response?
‘Cause now I’m in dismay
And I know we’re all in danger,
And I know we’re all afraid,
But the Promised Lands' worth it in the end

I hack further into my feelings
I slice closer to the source
Problems sprout like little seedlings
-Take one out, then birth two more

I couldn’t make this up
I was after anything thing to show I’m brave
I am stuck in a jungle of avarice
-Kept me hungry
-Kept me a slave
I only did more action ‘cause my words never found their home
I tried to tell myself there was hope and no more misery
Ah—that was the end of me…
Ever since that day I’ve self-destructed
I’m the enemy
I’ve made my peace with that,
And it’s okay
We don’t survive and get to walk away without a scratch
No, trouble comes in pairs!
And it comes in starving,
Comes in violent,
Comes in snarling,
Comes in angry and greedy
No one can make it stop
I fear we’ve neared the end of the rope
I couldn’t make this up!
I was after anything to give me strength,
And I interpret that as virtue
I interpret that as justice and good deeds,
But you know that I know it’s over

Don’t you know I know!
That’s why you jab at me with prejudice,
And I keep being more and more discreet
Convinced that I can change the outcome
I flounder as I’m cutting
And cutting and cutting and cutting the heads
-Wild and rampant!
We can’t stop it!
No, trouble’s always coming
And coming and coming and coming in pairs,
But it took that doubt to make me cower

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
