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.

One, two, three, four, five, six

I'll drink the moonlight from your hands
I'll swim an ocean filled with sorrow

Let it fill our lungs with lies
We'll be memorized by shadows
But our loneliness will survive

Now the sugar in your soft voice
Makes the sweetness in your weeping
And the black rose that you swallowed
Feeds the solitude you're dreaming
No, I'll never taste your tears again
In the darkness that we're breathing in
Now the sun will kill the garden
In a universe that's bleeding

Na, na na na, na na, na na na, na
Na, na na na, na will we survive?
