Narrative song about a murder

LyricsShow lyrics

Cybronica
Flower Moon

Song bio:Spoiler Did you know that crows can learn and recall faces, even years after an interaction? This has been an issue for ornithologists, as once you’ve caught a crow to weigh, measure, and tag it, the crow and its buddies will dive bomb you every chance they get for the rest of forever. Because of the crows’ ability to hold a grudge, ornithologists have taken to wearing Halloween masks when doing research, so that the birds don’t come after them when they aren’t probing them science.

This is a song about a murder of crows and a scientist in a mask depicting a flower moon.

Shout out to my old college roommate Kelsey who is currently back in school to study ornithology. She gave me a bunch of fun crow facts and helped me hash out the plot.

(Hope you don’t mind this song isn’t about a grisly death. This past week was tech, dress, and 2 performances of a full length oratorio about Matthew Shepard, and I was way too emotionally tapped out to write a song about killing someone)

Lyrics:

The man in the flower moon mask
Has a murder on his mind
He moves with calm malevolence
And merciless designs

I’d recognize him anywhere
His crescent face, his petaled hair
His darkly probing sunken eyes
Searching for his little prize
His presence marks another year
Perhaps, this time, we are prepared

He does not know that we remember
Every time he’s brought his net
Every one of us he’s taken
Is a crime that we cannot forget

We are shrouded in the shadows
Watching, waiting, patiently
A dozen eyes as black as night
A dozen wings will soon take flight
And soon the flower moon will see
Hell hath no fury such as we

Attack, my brothers, sisters, fly!
Pull his hair, peck out his eye!
Beat him back with feathered blows
Make him heed our battle cries!

He yDo not relent until he’s learned
That he must never more return
Destroy him, body, mind, and soul
Only then shall we adjourn!

The man in the flower moon mask
Retreats without his prey
The murder, then, can come to rest
And we live another day

This is terrifying and beautiful, mainly the many voices that fold in and out create as sense of space being suddenly filled with movement. I am certain this will get dinged due to bias but I'm all in favor of this performance.
