When it all comes down to dust
I will kill you if I must,
I will help you if I can.
When it all comes down to dust
I will help you if I must,
I will kill you if I can.
And mercy on our uniform,
Man of peace or man of war,
The peacock spreads his fan.
Leonard Cohen
Story of Isaac

So the great affair is over but whoever would have guessed
It would leave us all so vacant and so deeply unimpressed.
It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star.
I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far
.
Leonard Cohen
Death of a Ladies' Man |
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin.

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin.

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah.
Leonard Cohen
Hallelujah |
|
You say I took the name in vain.
I don't even know the name.
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word;
It doesn't matter which you heard:
The holy or the broken Hallelujah.
Leonard Cohen
Hallelujah

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to.
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you. . . .
Here I stand
I'm your man.
Leonard Cohen
I'm Your Man |
I've seen the future, brother; it is murder.
Leonard Cohen
The Future |

Leonard Cohen
