Swans - Blood Promise (Live)

When silence falls
And light remains
And time is born
Beneath the sun
I'll hide your name.
Inside a word
And paint your eyes
With false perception
And I feel your mind
In everything
And every breath
Destroys a sound.
And I will follow
A false sensation.
And I'll always believe.
Your blood promise
And every breath.
I stole from you
And I never will see
Your perfect body
And you never have spoken
An unclear word
And I'll never betray
Your blood promise.

Truly, madly, deeply, insanely beautiful <3

[FractalBolt]

Much, much better than the studio version, by far.

[Osthropek]

wasn't this the last song of their (then) last show?

[Aioliana]

speechless...

[kmilalopez11]

I'm listening to this and now I can't do anything else.

I saw them on the final tour (in DC), and when they did this and Helpless Child, you would have thought the entire audience had been dosed. People were just dumbstruck. The only other band I have ever seen do that to a crowd was Mono.
