about

In this chapter, Prill has finally entered the lair of the beast. A terrible storm is picking up, and he is starting to second-guess himself. He feels like he might have made a grave error because how is he supposed to catch and wrangle a giant sea beast into his tiny sloop? Lightning blasts his ship, and monstrous waves almost capsize it, but he refuses to give up. He believes he has come too far to turn back.

lyrics

Imagination was crawling across the water
Across my head-cove
Afraid of what sight!
It mitigated valor, removed all courage,
Canceled my progress, and left me abashed
My walls were rising, and I'd not see them
Until my shadow was three times my size

O' how would I get back unscathed and unbroken?
-Unsure
And now, in this moment of paralleled focus,
We'd hold this trade
Deep in the crux of the ocean, she had awoken
Behold all her wonder!
I cast—did my lie

O' would she ever bite to taste the lure?
A shaky hand in place for the reel and turn

What my reflection turned into denies all of truth and burns
My soul trapped by mirrors of fire!
The flames emanate the lie,
And the way was shut

O' I am festering in misery!
Inner-strength's begun to wither
The path I walk's been overgrown with vines and thorns
-Crushing all that grew,
And strangling my truth til' I am barely breathing
I've been doomed!
Then lightning struck my brow
Raining daggers cut me down
But I did not let go...
I never would let go!

It cracked the sky
I could not—would not—should not be a hero
At sudden, breaching from the clouds,
Another burst of brilliance!
And in the crashing down,
It split my vessel—overturned
And holding onto what was left had kept my faith secured
My god had shown his hand!

And the knives of rain came down!
And the waves would lurch and swell!
And any who crossed my way would think me all but sane

I cast again and watched it glissade through my fingers,
Like caterpillars
Tremoring outside the comfort of their chrysalis
Such metamorphosis took place here 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
