Demetrius Constancy

"Heavy Is The Crown" is track eight and is the title track of the Hungry Lights studio album "Heavy Is The Crown." Remember that this is a summary, not the entire story! It is like 1-10% of what is actually going on—just the skeleton.

Story[]

In this chapter, Demetrius has let Prill go, and Prill makes his way through the tunnels towards Reflaugh's chambers. He is then attacked by a group of strange, wheeled constructs called, "Demetriducts." They quickly overwhelm him, and Prill is thrown into a crystallized prison. Here, Prill is forced to further look upon his failures as he realizes how weak and incapable he is. Still... he does not want to take the responsibility for his actions. He continues to wear his crown of pride and ego.

Lyrics[]

To your eyes, I might seem half alive

But to me, fiction swirled and wrote my story

-Possibly told allegory

In hindsight, I should have stepped light

But it's too late

Deception had no meaning—the mask was torn

I charged, for I'm no coward!

But I suppose I failed

I tried to take this hour!

But I suppose I failed


There's only so much amends can change

Before boiling over

And all that I'd gained meant nothing to me

For I was left field

Wanting to rid me of her haunting

And nothing real could stop me!

But the faster I'd run,

The tighter the fangs of the crest took hold


Wide-eyed and turned around

A stone pound in the chest—denied and downed

But I still wore my crown

When all odds are stacked against me

And all courage split,

I’ll stand my ground with a prideful prowess

-Heavy is the crown


I thought that I was bleeding virtue

Bakarum, bakarum

But all I ever did was hurt you

Bakarum, bakarum

And as she plays her heart before me,

Put to sleep by her song

I promised never to desert you…

Bakarum, bakarum!

Still lying to myself

Come join my treasured collection of tales

Beneath the onus upon my height,

Was there a sliver of the man I used to be?


Wide-eyed and turned around

A stone pound in the chest—denied and downed

But I still wore my crown

When all odds are stacked against me

And all courage split,

I’ll stand my ground with a prideful prowess


Heavy, the sucker’s crown
