Swan Song Lyrics

My time, all my life
some way, I saved
the memory, the pending,
the family, surround me

a god given time,
a god given gift of life.
a time to take away,
to kill the pain,
to give me to the ground.

the pills, the windowsill
razorblade, great escape
so lonely, the feeling,
the slipping, the bleeding

good lord where are you found?
carry judgement way underground
did you laugh at me, now alone?
shoulda changed my way by now...

hero...(x4)

a god given time,
a god given gift of life.
a time to take away,
to kill the pain,
to give me to the ground.

First of all, I find it disheartening that in my opinion one of the best band EVER is being treated this way

1 yeah down kicks fucking, we know

2 through out this web sight ever ones “pantera rocks” “no pantera sucks down rocks” bottom line there both killer bands and unfortunately pantera will never be again but this isn’t the site to post you personal preferences

3 Down is hands down my favorite band iv listen to then ever since NOLA in 95 im also an avid fan of all the bands other work CoC, crow bar, eyehategod, ect

ne way.......... I find Phil to be very direct with his righting style and if there’s a message in the song 99% of the time its right in front of you. This song is of cores about a “swan song” witch if you don’t know is what a sawn dos right before it die, it sing a beautiful song and drops dead. witch rely is what NOLA is about, and most of Down II suicide, you can find reference to it in most every song , this is just a perfect example of it. ne question, comments, or just hate mail.
