[The Swans cover]
I've been lonely
And I have been blind
And I... I've learned nothing
So my hands are firmly tied
To the sinking leadweight of failure
I've worked hard all my life
Money slips through my hands
My face in the mirror tells me
It's no surprise that I'm
Pushing the stone up the hill of failure
They tempt me with violence
They punish me with ideals
And they crush me with an image of my life
That's nothing but unreal
Except on the goddamned slaveship of failure
I'll drown here trying
To get up for some air
But each time I think I breathe
I'm laid on with a double share
of the punishing burden of failure
I don't deserve to be down here
But I'll never leave
And I've learned one thing
You can't escape the beast
In the null and void pit of failure
When I get my hands on some money
I'll kiss it's green skin
And I'll ask it's dirty face
"Where have you been?"
"I am the fuel that fires the engine of failure."
I'll be old and broken down
I'll forget who and where I am
I'll be senile or forgotten
But I'll remember and understand
You can't bank your hard-earned money on failure
I saw my father crying
I saw my mother break her hand
On a wall that wouldn't weep
But that certainly held in
The mechanical moans of a dying man that was a failure
My back hurts when I bend
Because I carry a load
My brain hurts me like a knife-hole
Because I've yet to be shown
How to pull myself out from
The sucking quicksand of failure
Some people live in hell
Many bastards succeed
But I. I've learned nothing
I can't even elegantly bleed
Out the poison blood of failure
The lyrics FAILURE of MY DYING BRIDE is also present in the album Bring me victory - ep (2009)
My Dying Bride è una band inglese di doom metal, attiva dal 1990. Considerati pionieri del genere funeral doom, hanno influenzato profondamente la scena metal con il loro sound cupo e melodico, caratterizzato da atmosfere gotiche, testi poetici e un'intensa componente drammatica. Il gruppo è composto da Aaron Stainthorpe (voce), Hamish Glencross (chitarra), Andrew Craighan (basso) e Lena Abé (batteria). Tra i loro album più importanti figurano "As the Flower Withers" (1992), "Turn Loose the Swans" (1993) e "The Dreadful Hours" (1996). My Dying Bride hanno collaborato con artisti come Paradise Lost e Tristania, contribuendo a definire l'evoluzione del doom metal nel corso degli anni. Alcuni dei loro brani più rappresentativi sono "Sear the Sky", "The Sexuality of Death" e "Like Tears in Rain".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
