about
Mournful and melodic doom-metal band from São Paulo, Brazil. Initially a side project by two members from the black-metal band Nocternity, Andre Pinheiro [guitars and vocals] and Felipe Zagreus [drums and vocals]. They then were joined by Danil Gotz [keyboards], Nagash [bass] and Alexandre Bishof [guitars].

Swansong released the demo-tape Voyeur, specifically in June of 1997. After this record, the band had tested different singers and worked in new compositions, but no further material was ever recorded.

Track Name: Escapism
There is a bridge between
Reality and dream
Kept by a guard troll.
That's the eternal law:
We must traverse twice a
In a round trip, unable to stay.

One must come back
Who treads the twilight track.

Here, emotions have fled from me
Like birds that migrate from the cold.
Detached from all I see,
I've become empty, I've grown old.

Once stripped of dreams' cloak
In my tears I'll drown
And with my own
Vomit I'll choke.

So I dare what's forbidden to all
And approach the fearsome troll
Offering my hands up-turn'd:
"To reality I shan't return.
Handcuff me to this place
Or else my wrists are yours to sever."
Track Name: Aurora
Thou art so fair...
The dawn breaks in thy hair.
Thy skin is soft and white
As the radiant moonlight.

Thou doth shine
While I can only whine
For thou art not mine
As my heart is thine.

Thy voice enchants
Like the most sublime of chants,
While thy every word stirs
More than any verse I may hear.

Thou doth shine
While I can only whine
For thou art not mine
As my heart is thine.

Thy skin so soft and white
Was the moon that shone on mynight.
Dawn broke in thy long hair
Filling my darkness with its red glare.
Then at last came the sunrays:
Thy radiance shed light on my days.

Keeper of my heart,
Thou art a work of art.
Track Name: Voyeur
When I avoid being near
Before my eyes you appear,
As if heaven sent
To my torment.

Metaphors
Pale before
Your exuberance.
I'll long for
Always more
Of your radiance.

I'd like to approach you
Just to say
How beautiful
You are today.

Alas, burns inside me
The fact that we
Are not meant to be.
Alas, it's on another's chest
That you lay your head to rest.

Still uncertain
Whether to claim
The rewards of my oath,
Your picture remains
On the trapezoid lain
And I far from both...

When I avoid being near
Before my eyes you appear,
As if heaven sent
To my torment.

In the obscurity of a dark cave's depth
Dwells a sorrow-filled bat;
Beholding the eagles's gracious flight,
Light is not for him, all he can get is the sight.
