Did you ever taste a thing of beauty?
And watch it crumble into ash
Watch it fade, feel it bleed
Until nothing remains
Desecration lies deep in my soul
Subsist on the edge of sanity
Gaze into the eyes of desperation
And know that man is born in sin
This song is probably one of my favorite tracks on the record. It just has that stripped-down, early-’80s Lower East Side feel to it. It kind of harkens back to one of my favorite bands of all time, Swans. When I hear Swans or a band like The Birthday Party, I hear very slow and bleak-sounding blues...
