Swans - It's Coming It's Real Lyrics






In the place where you lay
In the shimmer above
In the rust and the oil
With your mouth full of mud
You run like a child
Through curtains of rain
In a room made of stone
Your future was made
There's nowhere to run to
You forget where you've been
Your shadow is shrinking
In the tightening lens
How many more years?
How much time is there left?
All the rivers reversed
While you counted each step

In the veins of the tree
In the strata beneath
In the polished chrome sheen
In the rebar and conrete
Reach up for the hand
Of the glowing half-man
Stand still on the edge
Of the greased precipice
Reach out
In a tunnel of steel
Fall through
It's coming, it's real
Breathe in
The glittering dust
Exhale
Mindless

Rage on, helpless
Reach out, sightless
Kneel down, fearless
Rise up, righteous
Save us, formless
Reach out, mindless
Save us, lightless
Leave us, soundless
Rise up, righteous
Save us, formless
Reach out, mindless
Save us, lightless
Rage on, fearless
Leave us, soundless
Leave us, soundless
Save us, lightless
Reach out, mindless
Save us, formless
Rise up, righteous
Kneel down, fearless
Reach out, sightless
Rage on, soundless

Swans It's Coming It's Real Comments
  1. Y.... Y....

    Christmas zombie apocalypse?

  2. P.... W....

    VERY Nice, shared to Media Factory Show TV on FB https://www.facebook.com/groups/MediaFactoryShowTV/

  3. J.... F....

    Reminds me of Pink Floyd

  4. b.... N....

    So this is the Death Grip band, Fantano was talking about

  5. I.... ....

    Wtf the words keep changing i just noticed

  6. H.... H....

    pink floyd worship

  7. h.... K....

    welcome back anytime. Canceling retirement is good choice.

  8. E.... F....

    This should be in the new adaption of Stephen King’s The Stand, rather than that awful Marilyn Manson Doors’ cover

  9. T.... ....

    If you listen to this while it’s snowing outside it’s somehow improved

  10. R.... K....

    Deathdance

  11. G.... V....

    Superb!

  12. b.... j....

    There are a few select bands and artists that have played a huge role in shaping the way i listen to and enjoy music. SWANS are one of those few. Thank you for continuing to put out quality albums that enrich my life and edify my being. in other words: Intoxicating.

  13. T.... W....

    Hey M thank you. 🖤

  14. b.... b....

    done w all these controlled oposition luciferian bands supporting the juice

  15. A.... ....

    What's the hype

  16. g.... a....

    🖤🖤🖤 Beautiful !!!

  17. b.... b....

    not too shabby ....but seeing MG gorging on porkchops kinda put me off

  18. G.... L....

    Uplifting to say the least!

  19. T.... D....

    I will buy your tangible album. To buy tangible albums is to supposed art

  20. M.... ....

    Schwanz

  21. J.... B....

    "i'm wondering what type of animal I'm supposed to sacrifice to this music" - Dad

  22. n.... ....

    those background vocals be smoother than a refreshing warm wind, i can feel it

  23. T.... ....

    Always chilling...

  24. N.... ....

    The cover art reminds me of a radiant Rothko's painting seen through Google Images' monochrome preview. Which is good.

  25. J.... M....

    Sounds like it'd play in a mysterious abandoned roadside diner after the apocalypse.

  26. J.... B....

    This track title is much more menacing than the music

  27. F.... N....

    Yeah, I also like Leonard Cohen

  28. J.... F....

    Sounds like Pink Floyd

  29. F.... C....

    A bit repetitive isn’t it?

    F.... C....

    hahahaha compared to Swans past work this isn't very repetitive. Go listen to the song Mother of the World if you want to hear what I mean.

  30. L.... W....

    This song sounds like David Lynch listening to Beak> making music that sounds like Pink Floyd, not knowing what Pink Floyd is supposed to sound like.

  31. 1.... P....

    Fucking incredible

  32. J.... K....

    Thank you for blessing us with another !!!!!!!

  33. F.... M....

    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

  34. R.... ....

    YEYEYEYE

  35. E.... D....

    Just WOW... It's amazing that in 2019 such wonderful music is still being made with such passion and genius. Wonderful but not surprising, coming from Swans.

  36. k.... ....

    Holy shit! I didn't think anyone made music like this anymore. And the album drops on my birthday!

  37. N.... ....

    The feeling of this song makes me feel like a Blackstar situation is going to happen again.

  38. V.... G....

    This sounds like 13 Years of Carrion by Death in June.

  39. n.... ....

    This is so fucking beautiful. Gira has done it again!

  40. J.... M....

    Beautiful!

  41. K.... P....

    Interesting.

  42. o.... m....

    Quite a-huh quite a-huh buhased if I do say so myself.

  43. A.... O....

    Beautiful as anything they've done so far! And if this song is an indicator of the whole thing then it should be their most epic magnum opus!

  44. A.... V....

    Thank you M. Gira. Been listening to you since the 1980s.

  45. M.... M....

    "In the place where you lay, in the shimmer above

  46. a.... ....

    spiritual

  47. D.... C....

    God I fucking love this song. Potential song of the year. Perfect chord progression!

  48. J.... L....

    Michael Gira is RESPECTED. By ME.

  49. T.... B....

    My neighbors are going to be listening to a new Swans album this month!

  50. �.... ....

    I love The Swans.

  51. A.... G....

    This is pretty not good.

  52. G.... T....

    wow, Swans and the Hausswoff sisters...
    TOP 10 ANIME CROSSOVERS

  53. m.... ....

    Youngsters: "Well it's no Taylor Swift."

  54. N.... H....

    Seems like Gira knows death is approaching and trying to make sense of it all, attempting to find peace before his time comes.

    N.... H....

    You got it

    N.... H....

    I mean I don’t think he’s that old but

  55. M.... R....

    rivers reversed, wow

  56. I.... Y....

    This could be a soundtrack Satantango or any Bela Tarr film

  57. S.... J....

    Can't wait for this album to cone out

  58. l.... s....

    coming out 1 day after my birthday. thanks mr. gira, i love you

  59. P.... W....

    Like Leonard Cohen took an acid trip with Michael Gira and an angelic choir

  60. J.... V....

    Come to brazil papa Gira

  61. F.... M....

    ive listened to this too much already

  62. J.... R....

    "dope!"

  63. K.... B....

    Friendship ended with circles...
    Squares are Michael Gira's best friends now

  64. M.... N....

    Master Gira seems to have tired of Swans' last Prog-Post-Rock-Noise overdose and comes back now to the Jarboe's Goth Folk chants with a reminiscent of Sigur Ros & Spiritualized nocturnal atmospheres. Great, Mike.

  65. D.... L....

    Best thing in my life atm.

  66. g.... ....

    Reminds me of red dead redemption 2

  67. A.... I....

    Tell me about it Michael, I think we may be unlucky enough to witness the functional extinction of our species.

  68. A.... M....

    S U B L I M E

  69. G.... B....

    Swans 2019.

    I'm working on believe it

  70. R.... I....

    Universal Emptiness - The Gothic Country of Michael Gira
    https://www.mixcloud.com/AMBIENT_PIMP/universal-emptiness-the-gothic-country-of-michael-gira/

  71. J.... C....

    1.outside vibes

  72. J.... G....

    It's coming it's real. The last sunset beach event on Earth happening some hours before the apocalypse. If we would ever wake up tomorrow then we would feel miserable for wasting our time hoping that a sunset event would ever be good. But it's coming it's real. So even if this is just another shitty party, we won't regret tomorrow and that is the reason why we're celebrating the way we always did - miserably.

  73. J.... K....

    I am surprised, listened The Swans intensely in late 80, then lost a bit but now they are still good!

  74. R.... C....

    The great annhiliator opens its mouth again! Rejoice!

  75. S.... ....

    boring in comparison to the otherworldly to be kind stuff....

    S.... ....

    It's a completely different approach to their sound.

    S.... ....

    @Francisco Medeiros yeah but Nothing Special...

    S.... ....

    Soulfuc you can say that to to be kind

    S.... ....

    @6026961 to be honest, I don't really understand that whole "the-swans-hype" raised by fantano,
    btw some sonic youth albums are much more interesting and outstanding than this

    S.... ....

    Soulfuc I’ve been a fan since the great annihilator was released

  76. C.... H....

    Amazing. The backing vocals reminded me of Jarboe. She was very important to Swans and will always be greatly missed. This song sounds like a mix of WLFTMOI/LOL and TGM. I loved it

  77. G.... ....

    Well this is smacky af

    G.... ....

    ... I like it

  78. W.... ....

    Saturday morning Lancashire England. This song will be forever this moment. Amen.

  79. B.... C....

    I really enjoyed this! Me and my contrabass friend made a Jazzy cover of this if you want to hear it!https://youtu.be/dWEgmirH5zk

  80. J.... 9....

    god this is amazing. Reminds me a bit of Can towards the end, in the best way possible.

  81. J.... 9....

    The story continues

  82. G.... P....

    I'm getting strong Velvet Underground vibes from this song.

  83. c.... i....

    Everytime I listen to this I feel like everything around is burning and it will surely mean my end, but I am calmly laughing hysterically relieved everything will be certain in this life full of uncertainties.

  84. R.... ....

    As soon as I heard the intro I just knew this was going to be good
    ...can't wait to hear the full album <3<3

  85. L.... ....

    I wish we would sing this song in my church

  86. i.... ....

    a ma zing!!! go gogogogogo <3

  87. R.... M....

    Abandoning hellscape are we?

  88. J.... N....

    living leaving

  89. H.... W....

    i wasnt sent a notification

  90. L.... E....

    Post apocalyptic....?! No! Even though this song is awesome and its lyrics, truly, this is the song of the Damned!
    If you want to be saved, stop looking for salvation. This song is an empty haunting spirit of sad hopelessness. Echoing through every mans heart thru all of space and time. Who told you that you needed to be saved?! And, did you believe? The voices of demons and devils!

    L.... E....

    ma'am, this is a Best Buy.

  91. L.... ....

    ¿Gira no había dicho que la formación de 2010 iba a durar hasta "The glowing man"? Igua,l, a esperar un nuevo álbum de dos horas.

  92. u.... g....

    Feels like deja vu, nostalgia, and a deep, lucid dream all jumbled together. Otherwordly.

  93. J.... K....

    the city is an empty glass- wait wrong band

  94. R.... B....

    Have it on loop now. love it.
