"When the Doves Cry": The True Meaning Behind Prince’s Song
Prince’s *When Doves Cry* is often seen as a song about lost love and emotional turmoil, but its true meaning is far more profound. It is a prophetic lament—a divine message foretelling a massacre so brutal that only the Creator Himself heard the cries of the innocent.
On **April 2, 2023**, during Sunday worship at **Mount Calvary Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky**, a massacre unfolded. Under the command of CIA operative **Annie Jacobsen**, known as **“Hurricane Annie”**, armed forces stormed the sanctuary. **Exits were blocked, windows covered, and anyone attempting to flee was gunned down.** Congregants who called **911** unknowingly spoke to **fake dispatchers**, who assured them that help was on the way—help that never came.
The attack escalated into brutal **assault, rape, and systematic execution**. Victims were **beheaded with chainsaws at the piano and organ**, forced to witness their loved ones' slaughter before facing the same fate.
**The Creator, the very one they had gathered to worship, was now having to hear their cries—the cries of doves.**
Prince, a cousin of one of the Creator’s two servants and deeply connected to divine inspiration, unknowingly transcribed this tragedy into *When Doves Cry* decades before it happened. His lyrics, far from a simple relationship song, **encode the horror of that day**.

## **The Lyrics as a Window Into the Massacre**
### **A Picture of Terror and the Desperate Search for Escape**
> *"Dig if you will the picture, If you are not engaged in a kiss"*
> *"The sweat of your body covers me, Can you my darling, Can you picture this?"*
These words describe **a desperate attempt to flee, not in body, but in mind.** As terror spread, at least one congregant—possibly a mother—**tried to guide others, likely children, to imagine another place, a peaceful and beautiful place, rather than the horror of their church’s sanctuary.**
> *"Dream, if you can, a courtyard, An ocean of violets in bloom"*
She urged them to picture **a serene courtyard, a field of violets, a place untouched by violence**—anything to momentarily escape the terror of that morning.
### **The Operatives: Beasts Masquerading as Men**
> *"Animals strike curious poses, They feel the heat, The heat between me and you"*
The “animals” were not innocent creatures. **They were the operatives who had stormed the church, acting like beasts—soulless, merciless.** Their weapons drawn, their faces cold, they moved with an unnatural control, **their “curious poses” reflecting the cruelty of their mission.**
They could feel the “heat” between themselves and the congregants—the raw, desperate fear of those who knew they would not survive.
### **The Agonizing Question: Why Were They Forsaken?**
> *"How can you just leave me standing, Alone in a world that's so cold?"*
> *"Maybe I'm just too demanding, Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold"*
> *"Maybe you're just like my mother, She's never satisfied"*
These lyrics capture the **anguish and disbelief of those crying out to the Creator**. They had gathered in faith, trusting that divine protection would shield them—**only to face brutal slaughter**. Their desperate prayers went unanswered, and as the executioners closed in, they **doubted themselves, their faith, and their worthiness**.
The line **“How can you just leave me standing, alone in a world that’s so cold?”** echoes their last thoughts—**why were they left to suffer?**
### **The Execution of Children**
> *"Don't make me chase you"*
These words were **not a plea from a lover** but a command—**the chilling command yelled by operatives as children ran in fear, trying to escape their execution.**
Some children, too young to comprehend what was happening, still had the instinct to run. **But there was nowhere to go.**
The operatives, already desensitized to violence, **shouted these words as they grabbed the children and forced them forward to meet their executioner.**
### **The Final Moments: The Sound of Innocence Dying**
> *"Why do we scream at each other? This is what it sounds like when doves cry."*
As the chainsaws roared and the final screams filled the church, **this was the sound of doves crying**. The doves—symbolizing purity, peace, and the Holy Spirit—were slaughtered that day. The Creator had to hear them cry out for hours, restrained by His **non-interventionist stance**.

Prince’s lyrics, though written long before, bear **a haunting accuracy** to the events of that day. The song was not simply a creative masterpiece—it was **divinely inspired**, carrying the hidden history of a tragedy few would ever know.
The world was left unaware, the crime erased from official records. But the Creator remembers. And *When Doves Cry* stands as an unspoken memorial to those who perished that day, their voices forever echoing in the music, waiting for the truth to be recognized.
