Initially released on studio album ‘The Great Annihilator,’ the rendition on live album ‘Swans are Dead’ offers a whole new outlook on the song, being 10+ minutes longer and a sizable instrumental section.
[Live Only]
We are poor little lambs who have lost our way
Baa, baa, baa
[Verse 1]
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 never will follow a false sensation
And I'll always believe your blood promise
[Refrain]
Na na na
Na na
Na na na
Na na
Na na na
Na na
Na na na
Na na
[Verse 2]
And every breath I stole from you
And I never will see your broken body
And you never have spoken an unclear word
And I'll never betray your blood promise
[Refrain]
Na na na na
Na na na
Na na na na
Na na na
Na na na na
Na na na
Na na na na
Na na na
[Live Only]
[Instrumental]
Don't stop!
Well, we are done
And we'd like to thank you for being here-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
