[00:00.00] 作曲 : Leonard Cohen

[00:01.50]
[00:02.39] The Old Revolution
[00:03.21]
[00:05.45] I finally broke into the prison,
[00:15.27] I found my place in the chain.
[00:23.46] Even damnation is poisoned with rainbow,
[00:33.70] all the brave young men
[00:38.48] they're waiting now to see a signal
[00:45.17] which some killer will be lighting for pay.
[00:54.64] Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
[01:04.32] you whom I cannot betray.
[01:10.99]
[01:11.75]
[01:16.79] I fought in the old revolution
[01:24.55] on the side of the ghost and the King.
[01:32.96] Of course I was very young
[01:37.13] and I thought that we were winning;
[01:44.77] I can't pretend I still feel very much like singing
[01:55.79] as they carry the bodies away.
[02:04.92] Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
[02:14.60] you whom I cannot betray.
[02:21.77]
[02:22.31]
[02:26.84] Lately you've started to stutter
[02:34.45] as though you had nothing to say.
[02:43.91] To all of my architects let me be traitor.
[02:53.87] Now let me say I myself gave the order
[03:04.69] to sleep and to search and to destroy.
[03:14.19] Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
[03:24.44] you whom I cannot betray.
[03:30.09]
[03:31.22]
[03:35.06] Yes, you who are broken by power,
[03:44.68] you who are absent all day,
[03:52.59] you who are kings for the sake of your children's story,
[04:03.02] the hand of your beggar is burdened down with money,
[04:15.12] the hand of your lover is clay.
[04:23.36] Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
[04:34.42] you whom I cannot betray.
