Leonard Cohen - Anthem Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The birds they sang
  • At the break of day
  • Start again
  • I heard them say
  • Dont dwell on what
  • Has passed away
  • Or what is yet to be
  • The wars they will
  • Be fought again
  • The holy dove
  • Be caught again
  • Bought and sold
  • And bought again
  • The dove is never free
  • Chorus
  • Ring the bells that still can ring
  • Forget your perfect offering
  • There is a crack in everything
  • Thats how the light gets in
  • We asked for signs
  • The signs were sent
  • The birth betrayed
  • The marriage spent
  • The widowhood
  • Of every government
  • Signs for all to see
  • Cant run no more
  • With the lawless crowd
  • While the killers in high places
  • Say their prayers out loud
  • But theyve summoned up
  • A thundercloud
  • And theyre going to hear from me
  • Chorus
  • You can add up the parts
  • But you wont have the sum
  • You can strike up the march
  • There is no drum
  • Every heart
  • To love will come
  • But like a refugee
  • Chorus
