Swan Song

Drink your booze and smoke your weed

Drain the vein and bleed for me

The ground is swaying beneath your feet

You can't see shit and you can't breathe

Kicked yourself in the teeth

Drowning young in the fountain of youth

You followed those breadcrumbs like a sleuth

Once was full of youth and ruthless

Now you're frail and limp and toothless

Everything you say is useless

'Tis the mother's voice on meek winds

"Be unto the void for your sins"

Flowers droop their heads in sorrow

Rivers run with no tomorrow

Throw in the towel, hang up your boots

The last leaves falling, ripped from roots

Diminishing hubris, sunken crown

The sphere a jagged arid mound

Dumbest jester in the town

The wrecking ball is fast approaching

Engulfing spirit lingers, floating

We bid farewell, all hope is lost

The clock has ticked its final tock

A barren lifeless rock

Birds do mourn and no longer trill

The great death cometh to bring ill

Crystal ball foretells dire fate

Alas, the reckoning, too late

Swan song, death comes

Swan song, death comes

Let it out with a final sigh

Our mothers fade away

Leaving the world behind

Blistering in a blaze

Flickering flamed-eyed

I feel the earth shake

Splitting without a splice

It's irreversible

We're moving counterclockwise

Illuminate the finishing inquisition

Embrace the overbearing inhibitions

I lay my skull down and throw in the towel

I'm left with a bad taste in my mouth

Choking on the earth's erosion

[Chorus 2: Stu Mackenzie, Ambrose Kenny-Smith]

Swan song, death comes

These breaths I breathe so bitter and bleak

Swan song, death comes

This path we chose has caught up to speed

Cut the cord

Go explore

Be untethered

Be unequalled

Grab the sword

Be emperor

Be yourself

Be an orb

Be your spirit

Don't fear it

Score the music

Of your essence

Be a photon

Luminescent

Swan song

Death comes

Stars fall from their lofty places

Earth has been put through her paces

Cosmic surgeons cut the cable

Make a new world if you're able
