Mona Lisa, Mother Earth Lyrics

Shame no one has commented on this song. In my opinion, it’s one of the best on The Burning World, together with “Let It Come Down” and “See No More”. And in fact it’s the title track; the name of the album comes from this song. Not much to say about the meaning though, it’s typical of later Swans – very dark, poetic and apocalyptic metaphysical visions and ruminations.
