Anthem - Leonard Cohen

[00:11.47]The birds they sang
[00:14.71]at the break of day
[00:18.84]Start again
[00:22.22]I heard them say
[00:26.27]Don't dwell on what
[00:30.54]has passed away
[00:33.57]or what is yet to be.
[00:36.35]
[00:41.20]Ah the wars they will
[00:44.73]be fought again
[00:48.37]The holy dove
[00:52.00]She will be caught again
[00:57.03]bought and sold
[01:00.44]and bought again
[01:03.43]the dove is never free.
[01:07.64]
[01:11.10]Ring the bells that still can ring
[01:19.12]Forget your perfect offering
[01:25.77]There is a crack in everything
[01:33.21]That's how the light gets in.
[01:39.89]
[01:48.26]We asked for signs
[01:51.93]the signs were sent:
[01:55.75]the birth betrayed
[01:59.51]the marriage spent
[02:03.64]Yeah the widowhood
[02:06.74]of every government
[02:10.99]signs for all to see.
[02:14.45]
[02:17.93]I can't run no more
[02:21.86]with that lawless crowd
[02:26.27]while the killers in high places
[02:29.51]say their prayers out loud.
[02:33.27]But they've summoned, they've summoned up
[02:38.50]a thundercloud
[02:42.90]and they're going to hear from me.
[02:46.55]
[02:48.52]Ring the bells that still can ring
[02:56.24]Forget your perfect offering
[03:03.06]There is a crack, a crack in everything
[03:10.61]That's how the light gets in.
[03:13.37]
[03:25.36]You can add up the parts
[03:30.13]but you won't have the sum
[03:33.02]You can strike up the march,
[03:37.02]there is no drum
[03:41.24]Every heart, every heart
[03:46.75]to love will come
[03:48.61]but like a refugee.
[03:51.12]
[03:56.08]Ring the bells that still can ring
[04:03.67]Forget your perfect offering
[04:10.78]There is a crack, a crack in everything
[04:17.83]That's how the light gets in.
[04:20.74]
[04:33.03]Ring the bells that still can ring
[04:41.03]Forget your perfect offering
[04:47.91]There is a crack, a crack in everything
[04:55.33]That's how the light gets in.
[04:58.88]That's how the light gets in.
[05:02.82]That's how the light gets in.
