About
sacrificialcakepublic_castration@yahoo.com
This is a community in memoriam of the now-defunct legendary musical group Swans. LJ'ers who listen to post-Swans projects such as Michael Gira's The Angels of Light or Jarboe's solo albums might be interested in joining. Young God Records-related posts are also welcome.
On a final note, feel free to write off-topic posts not directly (or in any way) related to this community as I do not think Community Moderators should the right to restrict free speech.
And I, I've been blind
And I, I've learned nothing
So my hands are firmly tied
To the sinking leadweight of failure...
I've worked hard all my life
Money slips through my hands
My face in the mirror tells me
It's no surprise that I am
Pushing the stone up the hill of failure...
And they tempt me with violence
And they punish me with ideals
and they crush me with an image of my life
that's nothing but unreal
Except on the God damn slaveship of failure...
And I'll drown here trying
To get up for some air
But each time I think I breathe
I'm laid on with a double share
Of the punishing burden of failure...
I don't deserve to be down here
But I'll never leave
And I, I've learned one thing
You can't escape the beast
In the null and void pit of failure...
When I get my hands on some money
I'll kiss it's green skin
And I'll ask it's dirty face
"Where the hell have you been?"
"I'm the fuel that fires the engines of failure..."
And I'll be old and broken down
And I'll forget who and where I am
I'll be senile or forgotten
But I'll remember and understand
You can bank your hard-earned money on failure...
I saw my father crying
I saw my mother break her hand
On a wall that wouldn't weep
But that certainly held in
The mechanical moans of a dying man who was a failure...
My back hurts me when I bend
Because I carry a load
And my brain hurts like a knife hole
Because I've yet to be shown
How to pull myself out from the sucking quicksand of failure...
Some people lie in hell
Many bastards succeed
But I, I've learned nothing
I can't even elegantly bleed
Out the poisoned blood of failure
