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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Into this furnace[00:00:54]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Very much like singing[00:01:50]

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

Into this furnace[00:02:04]

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

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

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

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

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

Let me be traitor [00:02:47]

Now let me say[00:02:53]

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

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

Into this furnace[00:03:14]

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

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

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

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

You who are kings[00:03:53]

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

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

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

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

Into this furnace[00:04:23]

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

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