The Old Revolution
Lyricist:Leonard Cohen
I finally broke into the prison, I found my place in the chain Even damnation is poisoned with rainbow All the brave young men they're waiting now to see a signal Which some killer will be lighting for pay
Into this furnace I ask you now to venture You whom I cannot betray
I fought in the old revolution on the side of the ghost and the king Of course I was very young and I thought that we were winning I can't pretend, I still feel very much like singing As they carry the bodies away
Into this furnace I ask you now to venture You whom I cannot betray
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Lately you've started to stutter As though you had nothing to say To all of my architects let me be traitor Now let me say, I myself gave the order To sleep and to search and to destroy
Into this furnace I ask you now to venture You whom I cannot betray
Yes, you who are broken by power, you who are absent all day You who are kings for the sake of your children's story The hand of your beggar is burdened down with money The hand of your lover is clay
Into this furnace I ask you now to venture You whom I cannot betray
