about

Azaria is about the death of Azaria Chamberlain on the 17th of August, 1980, near Uluru in the Northern Territory, Australia, as a result of being attacked and taken by a dingo. At 2 months old, her family was on holiday together there at the time.

Azaria's mother, Lindy, was tried for murdering Azaria and was sentenced to life in prison. In 1986, however, Azaria's matinee jacket (that Lindy had always referred to and the police had always said did not exist) was found, and Lindy was released. It took until 2012 for the coroner's report to reference a dingo in the cause of death.

Musically, this song has the slowest burning 'gallop' and simultaneously the most gruesome thrash metal moment on the album. The guitar interlude and solo are highly emotional, like the subject matter.

lyrics

In the red and dry Australian desert
underneath a shimmering white sun
A carefree, climbing family exploring –
Never knowing what would come

Azaria x2

Evening falls as day dissolves to darkness
Their baby lies just out of sight
With a faint and fragile call she cries out
as a dingo drags her into night

Azaria x4

With stealth and in shadows it steals her
and carries her back to its lair
Her matinee jacket slips off her
The last thing she sees is its stare
