about

In this chapter, Prill has made it home to Prite. Much love is expressed, then a few months later, Prite tells Prill she is pregnant. Prill had previously mentioned the desire to start fresh, but now his dream seems impossible. Not wanting to be a deadbeat father, he decides he needs to attain some great sum of wealth in order to give his wife and unborn child the life they deserve, so he decides he is going to try to catch "Fothcrah, Queen of the Sea," who is a myth that sailors and fisherman alike have chased for centuries.

lyrics

From the heart, again I felt beat
And the dawn—your smile
O' I concede!

My revered standing in the expanse
To my surprise, a cantered stride
Is the proposal that you'd yearned for my embrace
And as we lock
And as we cite
You ached to tell me something

Such words merely bounced off
My naked ears did not understand
My chaos—controlled,
But contorted by hearsay
O' I'm divided!

We might have made a treasure weaved in cloth
Of the kind that can't be forgotten
Like a fire spreading far beyond the shore,
Such a fierceness was our love

You told me all about your passions and your funny dreams
-A portrait that was painted in the dark
For I was lying on a bed of whispers in my sleep
And nothing that you said would stay affix

Many hours and days and weeks went by
I saw that I could not provide
Shall I stay by your side?
And as the moonlight shined into the sea,
The reflection lied...
The reflection lies!

How I could not spend my whole life like that!
How I would despair!
I tasted a sip of ambrosia
-Waking into divine

We might have made a treasure weaved in cloth
Of the kind that can't be forgotten
Like a fire spreading far beyond the shore,
Such a fierceness was our love

I would not believe such an absurd inception
Could test my honor and provoke my pride
And just when I'd fenced in my garden,
The wild grew rampant for me
When through black, a fruit I was shown
-The seed for my incessant soil
O' I had to affirm!
I'd sail out before the high tide
I need to be the best again!

In inquisition for a betterment,
I wound a rope that slowly thread my way down
I was a stitch away from lunacy
Splendidly bursting through the shell

If I had a choice, I'd surely stay,
But like a curtain closing on the stage,
Where else to go but back with the director?
Into the blue—into the sea,
Into a frightened ocean!
I would find what would get us by
Ride the wings of desire through the fence!

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
