about

In this chapter, Prill and the crew about to be eaten, but then an akulite woman comes running and screaming into the camp. Through a rough translation, Prill learns somebody has been stealing the akulite children, and that it has just happened again. Prill gets Demetrius to tell their leader, "Ak'thul," that he will track down and kill whoever is stealing the children if he will let them all live. Ak'thul agrees, and Prill alone is set free.

Prill's only lead is that the children are being taken by an evil witch named "Luk'ba" who lives somewhere in the swamp. He makes his way there and eventually stumbles upon a massive wall of whipping tendrils and thorns. Since he cannot get over it, he decides to dig under it.

lyrics

I’d been found out,
So you thought I’d choke,
But I’m full of lots of little tricks
Don’t underestimate the things I do and say
I’ve seen the tract
If anyone can best the fence, it’s me

Blood shed by my hand before dawn
-A red thumb tonight

Doubt says the sky will be falling down someday
Doubt says my heart is still full of hate
Doubt says that somehow I’ll always be one step behind
Maybe today’s the day doubt discriminates
And lays waste

What’s wrong with me?
My brain is a brimstone castle cracked at the seams
My filter’s all backed up—slips out
I can’t feel grief
My touch has gone rust
Now I’m a thriving disease
And I can’t be snuffed out
-Just keep growing and growing and growing

Blood shed by my hand before dawn
-A red thumb tonight

You dig and dig and dig and dig
You dig until you find
Whatever it is that you seek more than moral height
The garden’s full of flesh—a mess
The flowers are all sore
There is no hole that goes deeper than greed’s allure

Blood shed by my hand before dawn
-A red thumb tonight

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
