Leonard Cohen - The throne of desire

Tekst :

Their bodies Triumphant
Their power unfurled
I know I am nothing
And women the world!

A slave to their favours
Their no and their yes
I m crushed in the crease
Of a cotton dress

And I m dead except
In their company
And I m only at rest
When they motion to me

And night after night
I turn to myself
And I raise them
Out of my panic
And they come to me
Willing at last
Inflamed and fast
Mutual and graphic.

And suddenly they drill my heart
With cavities of absence
And they cover their thighs
with cellophane
And they cover their breasts
with a shadow
And they nail my good right hand
to a wall in the attic

O take me away
From the thorns and the fire
And let me recline
On the Throne of Desire

From the Throne of Desire
I make this solemn decree
Every woman I want
Will want, will want, will want
Will more than want me!

    Dancing in the dark til the tune ends
    We re dancing in the dark and it soon ends

    This is my mind

    How many days, how many nights
    I waited so long until they switched on the lights

    The shaman

    Oh boys, I ve seen the old man;
    Straw mask around the forehead
    The blaze, a blast and the awakening dead
    (The magic seeds will spread...)

    The bleeding warrior, he has fought
    (Healing leaves, piranha teeth, nobody leaves this place till
    the dawn!)
    Against the passion, for the love
    (Serpent skin, a savage scream, don t you...
