《The Old Revolution》歌词

[00:00:00] The Old Revolution - Leonard Cohen

[00:00:04] I finally broke into the prison

[00:00:14] I found my place in the chain

[00:00:22] Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows

[00:00:33] All the brave young men

[00:00:37] They're waiting now to see a signal

[00:00:44] Which some killer will be lighting for pay

[00:00:54] Into this furnace

[00:00:57] I ask you now to venture

[00:01:03] You whom I cannot betray

[00:01:16] I fought in the old revolution

[00:01:24] On the side of the ghost and the king

[00:01:32] Of course I was very young

[00:01:36] And I thought that we were winning;

[00:01:44] I can't pretend I still feel

[00:01:50] Very much like singing

[00:01:55] As they carry the bodies away

[00:02:04] Into this furnace

[00:02:07] I ask you now to venture

[00:02:14] You whom I cannot betray

[00:02:26] Lately you've started to stutter

[00:02:34] As though you had nothing to say

[00:02:43] To all of my architects

[00:02:47] Let me be traitor

[00:02:53] Now let me say

[00:02:57] I myself gave the order

[00:03:04] To sleep and to search and to destroy

[00:03:14] Into this furnace

[00:03:17] I ask you now to venture

[00:03:24] You whom I cannot betray

[00:03:35] Yes you who are broken by power

[00:03:44] You who are absent all day

[00:03:53] You who are kings

[00:03:55] For the sake of your children's story

[00:04:03] The hand of your beggar

[00:04:07] Is burdened down with money

[00:04:15] The hand of your lover is clay

[00:04:23] Into this furnace

[00:04:26] I ask you now to venture

[00:04:33] You whom I cannot betray
