THE BEAST

The Official Music Video for the song RAPE CULTURE by DYMBUR The song Rape Culture is an attempt to raise awareness on the rape crisis that is prevalent in India. With the country's capital Delhi being termed 'The Rape Capital of The Nation', DYMBUR realized that it was high time that we need to address this issue. The song also talks about victims of rape such as Nirbhaya and Asifa. Off course, the other characters in the song are fictional but were an absolute necessity. Beside this the song also show cases Khasi Traditional Instruments (Ka Duitara, Ka Mieng, Ka Bom, Ka Shaw Shaw) indicating the band's shift towards folk metal, which we termed as 'KHASI THRAAT FOLK METAL' Recorded. Mixed & Mastered by Cornelius Kharsyntiew at Legato Recording Studio, Shillong, India. Directed by Aditya Vishwanath Produced by Andreas Nathaniel War Video Edited by Cornelius Kharsyntiew Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/2PXxCkdxPAymROTQG74cqO Listen on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/rape-culture-single/1590890505 LYRICS: Dei ka por (It is time) Dei ka por (It is Time) Dei ka por ba ngin kyndit noh mynta (It's time for us to wake up) Dei ka por (It is Time) Dei ka por (It is Time) Dei ka por ba ngin kyndit noh mynta (It's time for us to wake up) Dei ka por (It is Time) Dei ka por (It is Time) Dei ka por (It is Time) What have human beings become A world we live in where victims are made fun Is this the price they pay? A culture where victims are blamed for the crimes committed on them Happiness is destroyed by memories of what happened Why is justice still a far cry? Don’t blame the victims Why is justice still a far cry? Why do we keep silent? Why do we stand by? Let’s stop this culture Why is justice still a far cry? Don’t blame the victims Why is justice still a far cry? Her innocence kept her in a state of confusion Finally the unbearable pain knocks her out cold With unconsciousness being her only friend Until death hurried to liberate her soul Rest in peace little one Why is justice still a far cry? Don’t blame the victims Why is justice still a far cry? Why do we keep silent? Why do we stand by? Let’s stop this culture Why is justice still a far cry? Don’t blame the victims Why is justice still a far cry? We call the women of our land Come out and join hands It’s time to make a stand Together we can break these chains A culture where victims are blamed for the crimes committed on them A girl steps onto a bus and her life is destroyed Ganged raped and brutally tortured She clings onto her life for thirteen days Born into the trade with the skills to please the flesh A slave to her trade with never a chance to escape She can still get raped. Why is justice a far cry? Still a far cry? Why is justice still a far cry? Don’t blame the victims Why is justice still a far cry? Why do we keep silent? Why do we stand by? Let’s stop this culture Why is justice still a far cry? Don’t blame the victims Why is justice still a far cry? __________________________________________________________________________ Script: DYMBUR Asst.
