Then i strangled your neck. Because i love you too much. Then i kissed your red mouth, because i love you to death. Now mother i need you- I need you too much - I need your claws in my neck. Every breath that i breath in, feeds the life that i lack...
Now right here i was born, in the place where you kneeled. In a burning white sand, in the blood that you spilled. Far far in the distance, i hear the howl of the beast. I feel his breath on my face. I feel the edge of his teeth...
And I'll swallow your sorrow, and i'll inhale your fear. And i steal your tommorows, and i'll inject your tears. So please never forgive me, please spit on my name. But i hold on to my memory, and keep me to blame. Please need me to blame, need me to blame.

    My GOD they're right! It does sound the same way through! I've been wasting my life listening to The Swans.

    Many great folk songs have one chord progression that lasts for 3min or more, so why can't Swans do the same with industrial heaviness?

    I loved the stripped down first version on I Am Not Insane, and this version succeeds in adding more intensity :-)

    I have a recording of it from back then, and it's pretty good. But the My Father version is so much better.
