My Epic - Red Hands

To Rate
Cygnus, cold as a stone
Troubled for bones of a love
That was lost and has left you alone
Spotless, white as a ghost
Placed in the black of a heavenly host
So grave and unknown

They don't see you burning up

Red hands raise a new golden age
Fed scraps from the banquet they laid
Could you feel anything
When they circled their barbs and wire
And pushed you aside?

Witness your storied light
A fate as a bronzed alibi
Penance their lucky star
But you'd give your place on the bright side
For one night in his sky

Split hairs for an arm and a lеg
Straw men left to shoulder thе blame
Could you hear anything
When they praised you to rank and file
Then left you behind
White lies lighting up their night sky burning you alive
It's the only thing they see by
And it's never gonna sit right
Black hole stretching as the fault grows mangling your soul
A constellation of compliance
It's spreading in the silence

(pull the sky down)
(pull the sky down)
(pull the sky down)
(pull the sky down)
(pull the sky down)

They don't see you burning up
Just another pretty light to wish upon
Final chapter, fitting end
Sing your swan song
With whatever you have left
And pull the sky down on their heads

My Epic

My Epic is a post-hardcore rock band from Charlotte, NC that was founded in 2005. Their sound ranges from the acoustic guitar picking with post-rock undertones that characterized their EP “Broken Voice” to the crashing, urgent, atmospheric sounds of full-lengths “Yet” and “Behold”. Another defining aspect of My Epic is lyricist and frontman Aaron Stone’s talent for penning deeply personal lyrics that often delve into the struggles with relating to God, ourselves, and others.
A self-described “band of Christians”, My Epic has stated that one of their main purposes in writing and playing music is creating what Stone calls “Thin Spaces” – places where listeners can connect to God in the most direct way and with the fewest distractions possible.
