about

Rage: the most powerful and dangerous human emotion. The protagonist in this song feels as though he can soar above the mental cruelty he has endured, but instead his rage threatens to devour him as he is ushered to a point where the unthinkable can occur.

lyrics

All alone, buried in layers of anger and misery
That’s how I found myself rotten and dying for a century
You wove a tale wherein I was a criminal disaster
Time stopped and wounds that should heal are still bleeding out, and faster

I’m not sleeping; the nightmare is real, it is now
I’m still breathing; the question not “if,” only “how”

In dust was my prison
From dust I have risen
My wounded wings darken the sky
In dust I will find you
To dust I will grind you
And all who would live by your lie

High on a hill you are charming your rented friends and judging me
Talking in money and gloating with the righteousness of pedigree
Drunk to forget how you ruined us, you wallow in distractions
But you can’t escape from this memory, the violence of your actions

You’re not sleeping; it’s hard keeping demons at bay
You’re still breathing, but heavier each passing day

In dust was my prison
From dust I have risen
My wounded wings darken the sky
In dust I will find you
To dust I will grind you
And all who would live by your lie

Now you succumb to the darkness, the Karma you’re banishing
All that you knew, and you had in your fairy tale is vanishing
You made a choice, a decision with your hourglass to drop me; now
I’m at your door, in your head, and you’re powerless to stop me

We’re not sleeping; you freeze as we take to the skies
We’re still breathing, and I see the fear in your eyes

In dust was my prison
From dust I have risen
My wounded wings darken the sky
In dust I will find you
To dust I will grind you
And all who would live by your lie

In dust it is raining
Through dust I am feigning
A smile as you put up a fight
In dust you hear thunder
To dust torn asunder
Your memory fades into night

Big Murder image

Big Murder Atlanta, Georgia

It’s fair to assume a band named Big Murder is an angry gangsta death-metal rap group, with potential legal issues. Though that last part may be partly true, the rest is much more complex. Big Murder is known for their hard-driving energy rock built with addictive riffs and melodies that are both refreshing and fun.

The band: Marcus (guitars/vox), Evan (drums) & Randy (bass/keys/vox) ... more
