I disagree with the comment below. This is one of my personal favorite Swans songs. I love Michael's delivery here. I think this one is about a woman with no faith in anything, and is simply negative to all. This is a pretty weird song, since the lyrics seem sort of Christian, but Swans are not a Christian band. A spiritual band, but not Christian.
@bjbp Not that weird considering the themes that were explored on Children of God, which was the direct predecessor of this album. I've always viewed the 80s/90s Swans albums as thematic pairs: Filth/Cop, Greed/Holy Money, Children of God/Burning World, White Light/Love of Live, Great Annihilator/Soundtracks.
