Swans is an American post-punk band originally active from 1982 to 1997, led by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Michael Gira. The band was one of the few groups to emerge from the early 1980s New York No Wave scene and stay intact into the next decade.

There is a growing
Golden light
A flower unfolding
Behind the mirror of your eyes

If an angel could hold up
In his polished white hand
I know he'd release it
Like a bird to the sky

Who will conquer this land
On a horse made of clouds
You will scatter the sands

Some people say
God is long dead
But I heard something inside you
With my head to your chest

All the wrong
They say
I have done

Their lies
A seed
Of a million more
Just waiting to become

Send them home
Send them home
Send them home
Send them home

Use your sword
Use your voice
And destroy
And destroy

Then begin again
