lyrics

Swan Song

When it comes
Let it be swift
Let it be clean
Let it be remembered
I took your message to the streets

When it comes
Let it be gentle
Let it be sweet
Let it be known
I never gave up on your beautiful dream

I sang your praise
I flew your flag
Red rag, red rags
To the greedy bull!

I sang your praise
I flew your flag
Red rag, red rags
To the greedy bull!

When it comes
Let it be swift
Let it be clean
Let it be remembered
I took your message to the streets

When it comes
Let it be gentle
Let it be sweet
Let it be known
I never gave up on your beautiful dream

But this is the end
This is the end
This is the end
This is the very end!
But this is the end
This is the end
This is the end
This is the very end…
The end of our sweet song!

They shun personal publicity and prefer the focus to be on their music and their band identity, claiming they are astral projections from distant stars with a message for humanity. ... more
