“Feathers of Fury” is an epic and humorous power metal anthem inspired by the Great Emu War of 1932. It blends vivid storytelling, dramatic imagery, and soaring melodies to depict the absurdity of humans waging war against an unstoppable force of nature: the mighty emus. With themes of defiance, futility, and ironic triumph, the song captures the grandeur of battle while embracing the comedic undertones of this unique historical event.
Lyrics:
Verse:
Across the plains, the farmers cry
“They’ve come to take our crops, oh why?”
Machine guns roar
The bullets soar
Yet through it all
The emus run, unyielding, tall
Pre-Chorus:
The rifles blaze but miss their prey
A feathered force, no man can slay
Chorus:
Feathers of fury, swift and strong
Their rebel cries, a wildling song!
The humans break
The fields ignite
A war of shame beneath the light
The emu horde will claim the night
Verse:
The farmers flee, their hopes undone
The emu legions rise as one
They dodge each shell
Like demons fell
The troops retreat
Their victory incomplete
Pre-Chorus:
The tactics fail, the plan’s in flames
The emus laugh at human claims
Chorus:
Feathers of fury, swift and strong
Their rebel cries, a wildling song!
The humans break
The fields ignite
A war of shame beneath the light
The emu horde will claim the night
Bridge:
From shadowed brush, they make their stand
A feathered force takes back the land
No man nor beast shall strike them down
The emu horde will take the crown
Chorus:
Feathers of fury, swift and strong
Their rebel cries, a wildling song!
The humans break
The fields ignite
A war of shame beneath the light
The emu horde will claim the night
Final Chorus:
Feathers of fury, they’ve won the fight
The plains are theirs beneath the night
The war is done
The fields are free
A legend carved in history
The emus reign in victory!
