about

In this chapter, Prill begins to climb a massive, great staircase called, "The Awry Ascent." The staircase seems endless until the illusion is finally shattered, and then Prill makes the acquaintance of the seer who lives at the top of the observatory, "Flinter." Flinter warns Prill that his quest for Fothcrah will be in vain, but Prill refuses to listen. He expresses a desire to be free of his burdensome past and to soar like the albatross. Prill feels that in order to accomplish this, he must catch Fothcrah.

lyrics

Every step shall resonate as the culling of privation
And in the echo of my forward betterment,
I'd blaze a path for more to draggle

Burned by the false wonder
Yet still, I felt content
Afraid of the sound of the chimes
In their very nature was how I made my choice
For the awry ascent

O' how I roared for a cease!
A staircase not of sense, but made of dreams that evade
And grow until the ivy sprouts into the sky
And shadows true existence
-A false mirage
What a foul immersion!

Burned by the false wonder
Yet still, I felt content
Afraid of the sound of the chimes
In their very nature was how I made my choice
For the awry ascent

No seer would tell me of my discarded faith
I dismissed such heed
I was embodied with pride—o' ego!
-The worst of evils

Burned by the false wonder
Yet still, I felt content
Afraid of the sound of the chimes
In their very nature was how I made my choice
For the awry ascent

How the albatross can soar with those heavy, iron wings
They would weigh me like a stone with a chiseled, cosmic story
I admired such vim
I admired such courage
For it showed me I could fly
If I only would endure

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
