Leonard Cohen
Avalanche

Well I stepped into an avalanche,
it covered up my soul;
when I am not this hunchback that you see,
I sleep beneath the golden hill.
You who wish to conquer pain,
you must learn, learn to serve me well.
You strike my side by accident
as you go down for your gold.
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
is neither starved nor cold;
he does not ask for your company,
not at the centre, the centre of the world.

When I am on a pedestal,
you did not raise me there.
Your laws do not compel me
to kneel grotesque and bare.
I myself am the pedestal
for this ugly hump at which you stare.

You who wish to conquer pain,
you must learn what makes me kind;
the crumbs of love that you offer me,
they're the crumbs I've left behind.
Your pain is no credential here,
it's just the shadow, shadow of my wound.

I have begun to long for you,
I who have no greed;
I have begun to ask for you,
I who have no need.
You say you've gone away from me,
but I can feel you when you breathe.

Do not dress in those rags for me,
I know you are not poor;
you don't love me quite so fiercely now
when you know that you are not sure,
it is your turn, beloved,
it is your flesh that I wear.


Mirror lyrics:

it is your flesh that I wear.
it is your turn, beloved,
when you know that you are not sure,
you don't love me quite so fiercely now
I know you are not poor;
Do not dress in those rags for me,

but I can feel you when you breathe.
You say you've gone away from me,
I who have no need.
I have begun to ask for you,
I who have no greed;
I have begun to long for you,

it's just the shadow, shadow of my wound.
Your pain is no credential here,
they're the crumbs I've left behind.
the crumbs of love that you offer me,
you must learn what makes me kind;
You who wish to conquer pain,

for this ugly hump at which you stare.
I myself am the pedestal
to kneel grotesque and bare.
Your laws do not compel me
you did not raise me there.
When I am on a pedestal,

not at the centre, the centre of the world.
he does not ask for your company,
is neither starved nor cold;
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
as you go down for your gold.
You strike my side by accident
you must learn, learn to serve me well.
You who wish to conquer pain,
I sleep beneath the golden hill.
when I am not this hunchback that you see,
it covered up my soul;
Well I stepped into an avalanche,
