“Anthem” Leonard Cohen


The birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don’t dwell on what
Has passed away
Or what is yet to be
Yeah the wars they will
Be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
Bought and sold
And bought again
The dove is never free
Ring the bells (ring the bells) that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That’s how the light gets in
We asked for signs
The signs were sent
The birth betrayed
The marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood
Of every government
Signs for all to see
I can’t run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they’ve summoned, they’ve summoned up
A thundercloud
And they’re going to hear from me
Ring the bells…

One thought on ““Anthem” Leonard Cohen

  1. Hi Americk,

    Thanks for Leonard Cs beautiful song, how apt. Will be interesting to see if Parliament meets on the 9th. If Muhyiddin seeks to delay it it might mean he is not sure of his numbers. there might perhaps be another chapter in this drama?

    Regards
