Текст песни Леонард Коэн - Future

Give me the night, and it’s mayhem
A secret house with mirrors
It's a pity there is no one else to torment here
Give control of the entire Earth
Over any living soul:
Love me, baby, -
Your fate!

Give me crack anal sex
Cut down the last forest
To shut up the culture
A hole from the rear;
Save the Wall for the Germans
Return Stalin to Russians
I saw the Future, brother,
There is a grave.


The world is bursting at the seams -
And soon it will creep
Nothing more
And there will be nothing to measure in life;
Universal Chaos
Will twist all souls, and History
lose its meaning and turn back
You shouted:
"Admit your sin!" -
What's the use of that game?
You shouted:
"You will burn in hell!" -
What did you mean?
..............................................


I'm the one they don't talk about -
Jew, two thousand years ago
Who invented the Holy Scripture;
I've seen wars, slaves execution
and the collapse of empires, but Love -
The only motor for survival.
I am sent from above to say
That Time began to seize
It won't flow -
neither slow nor fast
Will jam the Sky Wheel
And a nightmare will come true
Get ready for the future baby
there is murder.


All Ten Commandments will turn to dust
Love, like a whore, will be given to the crowd
And on the roads, igniting the pillars of fire,
Demons will dance
And the woman will hang with her feet up
In a nightgown that crawled to my head
And all the poets will run to her to read poetry,
trying to sound like Charlie Manson
during decadence


So wall apart Berlin
Give Hiroshima, give Nanjing,
Give Stalin with Jesus the swindler,
And kill the fetus in the bud -
There is no place for children
I've seen the Future baby
There is murder ...
