Biography:
Swans is a band from New York, United States, active from 1982 to 1997, reformed in 2010, led by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Michael Gira.
Marginally associated with the no wave scene at first, their original sound was slow and extremely heavy, with live performances that were often so brutal and physical that in a number of instances certain audience members were made ill, police were called and venues were shut down. This early physical sound is possibly best heard on the live album Public Castration Is A Good idea.

[VERSE ONE]
Dm Am
Please open my mind
C C9 Am
And take what's left
Dm Am
Please fill this cup
C C9 Am
With senseless bliss
Dm Am
Let me sulk, oh let me suck
C C9 Am
Upon that which does not exist
Dm Am
Teach the weak, oh teach me please
C C9 Am
To cease to resist
Dm Am
Through halls of glass
C C9 Am
Through tunnels of chrome
Dm Am
Through dark corridors
C C9 Am
Of burning stone
Through fields of crystal
C C9 Am
And the shards of my bones
Dm Am
May I open my eyes
C C9 Am
But not see what I am shown

And may I find my way
N.C.
To the reason to come home
N.C.
May I find my way
N.C.
To the foot of your throne
N.C.
And may I find your arms
N.C.
Around my neck
N.C.
And may I find
N.C.
Your little mouth
N.C.
