Escapism (free) 04:24
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."

Aurora (free) 03:49
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.

Voyeur (free) 05:41
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.

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 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.
