The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Come Join the Murder" by the artist "White Buffalo, The"

Contents

The song "Come Join the Murder" by The White Buffalo is a dark allegory about temptation, betrayal, and regret. The raven in the song is a symbol of a dark force that promises freedom and enlightenment, but in reality leads to downfall and suffering.

The lyrical hero, attracted by the raven's promises of divine touch and greatness, renounces his human nature ("leave the world of man behind"). He follows the raven, which is likened to influential historical figures – Martin Luther and Pericles, symbolizing the deceptive power of persuasion and charisma. However, like Icarus, the hero flies too high on the wings of false promises, and his fall becomes inevitable.

Having gained bitter experience, the hero realizes that he has been deceived. He curses the raven for the lies and suffering, but it only coldly reminds him of his own responsibility for the choice he made. The final lines of the song leave the hero in a state of eternal regret and despair, forever excommunicated from the life he betrayed.

[Verse 1:]

There's a black bird perched outside my window

I hear him calling

I hear him sing

He burns me with his eyes of gold to embers

He sees all my sins

He reads my soul

[Pre-Chorus:]

One day that bird, he spoke to me

Like Martin Luther

Like Pericles

[Chorus:]

Come join the murder

Come fly with black

We'll give you freedom

From the human trap

Come join the murder

Soar on my wings

You'll touch the hand of God

And He'll make you king

And He'll make you king

[Verse 2:]

On a blanket made of woven shadows

Flew up to heaven

On a raven's glide

These angels have turned my wings to wax now

I fell like Judas grace denied

[Pre-Chorus:]

On that day that he lied to me

Like Martin Luther

Like Pericles

[Chorus:]

Come join the murder

Come fly with black

We'll give you freedom

From the human trap

Come join the murder

Soar on my wings

You'll touch the hand of God

And He'll make you king

And He'll make you king

[Verse 3:]

I walk among the children of my fathers

The broken wings, betrayal's cost

They call to me but never touch my heart, no

I am too far

I'm too lost

[Pre-Chorus:]

All I can hear is what he spoke to me

Like Martin Luther

Like Pericles

[Chorus:]

Come join the murder

Come fly with black

We'll give you freedom

From the human trap

Come join the murder

Soar on my wings

You'll touch the hand of God

And He'll make you king

And He'll make you king

[Verse 4:]

So now I curse that raven's fire

You made me hate, you made me burn

He laughed aloud as he flew from Eden

You always knew, you never learn

[Pre-Chorus:]

The crow no longer sings to me

Like Martin Luther

Or Pericles

[Chorus:]

Come join the murder

Come fly with black

We'll give you freedom

From the human trap

Come join the murder

Soar on my wings

You'll touch the hand of God

And He'll make you king

And He'll make you king
