Swather
A swather, or windrower, is a farm implement that cuts hay or small grain crops and forms them into a windrow. "Swather" is predominantly the North American term for these machines. In Australia and other parts of the world, they are called "windrowers".
A swather may be self-propelled via an internal combustion engine, or may be drawn by a tractor and powered through a power take-off shaft. A swather uses a sickle bar (see mower) to cut the stems of the crop. A reel helps the cut crop fall neatly onto a canvas or auger conveyor which moves it and deposits it into a windrow, with all stems oriented in the same direction. As combines replaced threshing machines, the swather was needed to replace the binder.
Swathing (windrowing) is more common in the northern United States and Canada. This is because the curing time for grain crops is reduced by cutting the plant stems. In regions with longer growing seasons, grain crops are usually left standing and harvested directly by combines.

Forsaken
by: SeetherNow I'll take the blame
So forget my name
Just close the blinds
So I can come down
I'm naked and shamed
Moth to the flame
Just take my hand
So we can both drown
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again
The same sweet game
Your halo is aflame
Feel my heart race
And breathe a sad sight
Let me wash away
And let go of the pain
Just look away
And turn a blind eye
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again (again)
So hold me down
If I feed I'm stronger
I don't feel no longer
So hold me down
If I feed I'm stronger
I don't feel no longer
So hold me down
If I feed I'm stronger
I don't feel no longer
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again(again)
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
