Swans - Song For A Warrior Lyrics






There is a growing
Golden light
a flower unfolding
Behind the mirror of your eyes

If an angel could hold it
In his polished white hand
I know he'd release it
Like a bird to the sky

Now you are the warrior
Who will conquer this land
On a horse made of clouds
You will scatter the sands

Some people say
God is long dead
But I heard something inside you
With my head to your chest

Within
All the wrong
They say
I have done

There lies
A seed
Of a million more
Just waiting to become

Send them home!
Send them home!
Send them home!

Use your sword
Use your voice
And destroy
And destroy

Then begin again

Swans Song For A Warrior Comments
  1. G.... ....

    The video's description is way more wholesome than it has any need to be. Thank you for the great music, Mr. Gira.

  2. i.... ....

    Now you are the warrior

  3. D.... V....

    This album is a gift that keeps on giving.

  4. S.... L....

    I’m listening to this as the sun rises.

  5. D.... R....

    This isn't a Swans song for just any moment, but when you're ready to truly listen to this song, it hits like a ton of bricks. I teared up today hearing it, the first time it's happened, having heard The Seer in its entirety dozens of times. Absolutely beautiful.

  6. R.... M....

    Fuck you swans 👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

    R.... M....

    Thank you "Richard Maple", very cool!

  7. R.... M....

    This is warrior song??????

    R.... M....

    Hell yeah! Heart to the core!

    R.... M....

    It's not a warrior's song, it's a song _for_ a warrior

  8. h.... K....

    The description is kind of touching.

  9. D.... ....

    I love this song.

  10. L.... E....

    Makes me think of Kalki. Especially because the next song is called Avatar

    L.... E....

    ride the Kali Yuga, brother.

  11. n.... n....

    Ugghh, "artsy" "deep" vocal fry NPR music.

    n.... n....

    Whatever, dumbass.

  12. G.... R....

    Swans+Yeah yeah yeahs=celestial orgasm

    G.... R....

    nice profile pic, love Machine Girl

  13. D.... I....

    I would like to Thank you for the description it made me smile. I came here to see what someone was listening to. Although not my preferred music i can appreciate the effort.
    I Wish You All The Best.

    D.... I....

    I wish people were this respectful across normal YouTube comments sections

  14. S.... D....

    This is one of my favorite post breakup Swans tracks, the instruments swell together so fluidly and smooth, lyrically it's beautiful is every respect, about Micheal Gira's Wife/partner directly, it's beautiful and lovely.

  15. A.... Y....

    Awfully placed on The Seer. But at the same time such a great piece of music.

  16. B.... ....

    I feel like Gira's original vocals of this song would've been a lot better. I think it'd fit the sinister tone of this album a whole lot more, while still being a nice, calming interlude

    B.... ....

    Llama Duck I honestly love how this track is a gem in an ocean of pain and nihilism, it's counter is a duality of this chaotic album

    B.... ....

    The demo version from I Am Not This has Gira's vocals instead of Karen O's but its completely acoustic

    B.... ....

    Boyo I like the vocal parts but wouldn’t mind Peter Hammill did them

  17. D.... L....

    Thank you Swans for all of the fantastic music through the decades. Other songs of any style, I can't think of one that I could reasonably say exceeds the beauty of this work of art.

  18. G.... ....

    Every single day

  19. i.... ....

    creepy pic

  20. D.... R....

    fucking wow...

  21. M.... D....

    Those orchestral swells in the middle of the song are among the most beautiful sounds Swans have created. Love this track.

  22. F.... O....

    This song is like the calm before the storm. Very well placed in the album.

    F.... O....

    I just love how the entire second disc is a sort of buildup to The Apostate, really makes that song a perfect closer with how chaotic it is

  23. A.... W....

    Some people say that god is long dead. But I heard something inside you with my head to your chest

    something very beautiful about that

    A.... W....

    One of the most beautiful lines ever written

  24. P.... ....

    Thank you Swans !

  25. S.... ....

    who sings this song?

    S.... ....

    +SuperDuck Karen O from the Yeah yeah yeahs.

    S.... ....

    +Maximiliano Zacarías thanks

    S.... ....

    your mom

  26. A.... ....

    azxxxxx

  27. S.... ....

    Anyone think to some extent this may have been written about Gira?

    S.... ....

    Isn't this writen entirely by Micheal Gira.

    S.... ....

    It was written to Michael to dedicate to his daughter.

  28. d.... ....

    Unpopular opinion:
    This might be the weakest song on the album.
    I'll qualify that by saying that for what it is, it's still very well done.

    d.... ....

    I agree her vocals sounds too forced. The music is good though

    d.... ....

    This song is the fulcrum of the album, tipping it over into the second half with its peaceful beauty

    d.... ....

    As I said in another comment, I think this'd be better if Gira did the lead vocals

    d.... ....

    I beg to differ. The mellow acoustic psycheledia of these bands appear more tasteful to me than the jazzy ones..

    d.... ....

    This song is the best of this album, i think.

  29. R.... S....

    Еба, почему в видел один лишь Никита, чего нету ни Диди, ни Фаустае, ни Тола с Лето?

  30. a.... ....

    This is my favourite song on the album.

    a.... ....

    Well I mean this whole album is like stockhom syndrome. They take you hostage and bombard you with confusion and any music that sounds even remotely sane sounds like the best thing ever.

  31. P.... V....

    Hey, I know you may not answer this but, what do you really recommend?
    To buy it from itunes or physical, I saw you prefer for me to buy it physical version, but idk, whatever just qobe xkanrc. Ziev abans aok kwoc wbe. G. Fdc

    P.... V....

    @Saephaan I prefer a physical copy, it's about the same price and it's more valuable.
