Leonard Cohen - Come Healing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmObT8HhLS0

O, gather up the brokenness
Bring it to me now
The fragrance of those promises
You never dared to vow.
The splinters that you carried
The cross you left behind
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind. 

And let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb.
Behold the gates of mercy
In arbitrary space
And none of us deserving
Of cruelty or the grace.
O, solitude of longing
Where love has been confined
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind 

O, see the darkness yielding
That tore the light apart
Come healing of the reason
Come healing of the heart. 

O, troubledness concealing
An undivided love
The heart beneath is teaching
To the broken heart above. 

And let the heavens falter
Let the earth proclaim
Come healing of the altar
Come healing of the name.
O, longing of the branches
To lift the little bud
O, longing of the arteries
To purify the blood.

 And let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb. 

O let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb.

Memento Mori

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5zicTNF9hY

From the dawn of his life
he chases and he tries to find the Holy Grail
at his first years, he tries to stand on his feet and to speak, to reveal his truth
but the Reaper says <<you are gonna die>>
at the school, bitten and raped
mentally raped
forces which cannot fight
the Reaper always says <<you are gonna die>>
when he is 18 he loses his hairs
his smile
he learns to be nothing, absolutely nothing
nothing but for ashes and dust
because the Reaper says << you are gonna die>>
at his 40's he is bald
he has an ugly wife a junky son
he didn't have any good in his life
then the Reaper says <<you are dead anyway>>
