Story[]
In this chapter, Prill has set sail for the first time in eight years. He is filled with a courageous verve and experiences a moment of great clarity as he takes to the sea and begins his new journey—ready to redeem himself and be whole again. There is however a slight inkling of indifference within his being, and he is not sure what to think of it.
Lyrics[]
With much plight, I rose to full height
Matching a hero!
-The atramentous sky beating down
And I was too proud to admit
That all I had gained was a mess of dilemmas
And I would not call this an encore
T'was a brand new stage!
Throw your pigeons a pie!
This is my finest hour!
Though you saw my return,
You didn't see I'm no coward
On my side, I noticed a dial
No numbers or indication for sleight of my hand
The way had been sealed from the inside
The outside was weathered—much like myself
So I poked and prodded its nature for the story it'd tell
Throw your pigeons a pie!
This is my finest hour!
Though you saw my return,
You didn't see I'm no coward
With a heart opened wide,
And a soul turning outward
There was nothing to change
Not in my finest hour
And I reckon I'm cured
So I sound out a hearty hallelujah!
For the world looks much more perfect
Through less sensitive eyes
I read this on a paper that could represent my life
At first I deemed it hostile,
For I only saw in one dimension
It's overwhelming just to think I was so blind
The answers I've been searching for are already here!
If I'd just look around!
Open the coffins I pretend are eyelids and stare!
They're already here,
And I saw past it all in disbelief
Then my soul felt light as a feather
And your waves had ushered my return
That saline air I breathed brought memories of your shore
So I poked and prodded your nature
For the story you'd been trying to tell me
It was written in stardust, but I was too prideful to see!
Throw your pigeons a pie!
This is my finest hour!
Though you saw my return,
You didn't see I'm no coward
With a heart opened wide,
And a soul turning outward
There was nothing to change
Not in my finest hour
Not in my finest hour
This is my finest hour!
Trivia[]
- This song is loosely based on the tune of the amnaeon song, "The Door & The Mountain," but the final song only contains a few seconds of a riff from that track.
