    Lyrics:
    Give me back my broken night
    My mirrored room, my secret life
    It's lonely here
    There's no one left to torture
    Give me absolute control
    Over every living soul
    And lie beside me, baby
    That's an order!
    Give me crack and anal sex
    Take the only tree that's left
    And stuff it up the hole
    In your culture
    Give me back the Berlin wall
    Give me Stalin and St. Paul
    I've seen the future, brother
    It is murder
    Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions
    Won't be nothing (won't be)
    Nothing you can measure anymore
    The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
    Has crossed the threshold
    And it has overturned
    The order of the soul
    When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
    I wonder what they meant
    When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
    I wonder what they meant
    When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
    I wonder what they meant
    You don't know me from the wind
    You never will, you never did
    I'm the little Jew
    Who wrote the Bible
    I've seen the nations rise and fall
    I've heard their stories, heard them all
    But love's the only engine
    Of survival
    Your servant here, he has been told
    To say it clear, to say it cold
    It's over, it ain't going any further
    And now the wheels of heaven stop
    You feel the devil's riding crop
    Get ready for the future: It is murder
    Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions
    Won't be nothing (won't be)
    Nothing you can measure anymore
    The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
    Has crossed the threshold
    And it has overturned the order of the soul
    When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
    I wonder what they meant
    When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
    I wonder what they meant
    When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
    I wonder what they meant
    There'll be the breaking of the ancient Western code
    Your private life will suddenly explode
    There'll be phantoms, there'll be fires on the road
    And the white man dancing
    You'll see your woman hanging upside down
    Her features covered by her fallen gown
    And all the lousy little poets coming round
    Trying to sound like Charlie Manson
    Yeah the white man dancing
    Give me back the Berlin wall
    Give me Stalin and St. Paul
    Give me Christ
    Or give me Hiroshima
    Destroy another fetus now
    We don't like children anyhow
    I've seen the future, baby: It is murder
    Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions
    Won't be nothing (won't be), nothing you can measure anymore
    The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
    Has crossed the threshold
    And it has overturned
    The order of the soul
    When they said (they said) repent (repent)
    Repent (repent)
    I wonder what they meant
    When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
    I wonder what they meant
    When they said (they said) repent (repent)
    Repent (repent)
    I wonder what they meant
    When they said (they said) repent (repent)
    Repent (repent)

      Relevant ? It's literally a blue print of what's going to happen.
      The global agenda for worldwide socialist domination ( NWO) WAS supposed to start by the year 2000 there was supposed to be a total media shutdown and a po lice st ate introduced and they were going to blame it on the w2k bug .
      So artists in the know either tried to prepare ppl mentally or warn ppl from about the late 80s to late to early 2000s, however the problem was where ever the globalist would meet there would be mass riots and protests against them since a lot of ppl knew about this .
      American m ilitia were on high alert 📢 for the introduction of the world 🌎 govern ment and were willing to fight it .
      So the elite changed plans staged 911 introduced a bunch of laws to fight "terrorism " and subdued all resistance.
      In 2020 co vid was introduced and new laws were legislated removing freedoms.
      This is not a prophecy it's a person telling of future plans ( I mean the song ) .
      Nothing new Babylonians , pharoahs , and some roman emperors had totalitarian governments even the Vatican had its own from 1000 to 1400 .
      Only difference is this generation of Satanists have more technology and ppl are sleepwalking right into their doom .

    Full confession. Oliver Stone turned me onto Leonard Cohen by using a shortened version of this song in his movie "Natural Born Killers" in 1994. Before then, all I knew by Mr. Cohen was "Everybody Knows." First I bought the soundtrack. Then I bought Cohen's CD "The Future" and started collecting all of his work. I was blown away. As he aged, his work got better. I love it all and miss the man deeply. But his music lives on!

Such great words brought together from obviously a wonderful soul makes me think that you have already found the answer to the question Leonard looked so hard to discover & did find bc the answer was within him all along, knocking at the door of his heart. We can’t judge bc we must remember the group of God’s people that were blinded, but you should know that Leonard DID find The Door before his time was up bc I am a witness, although my age & time here are almost almost done, so pardon the arthritic typos. It felt right to let you know bc your words reveal a caring soul. Had Leonard been born with such birth defects as I was, the world would have missed out on so much beautiful music he created while on his journey, which definitely did have a happy ending.Hopefully you understand & get peace from this message.

    Leonard is without doubt a man of intense depth and consciousness, he touches another dimension, a man that we have been fortunate to have had his music, his words, his thoughts...............we could all do with a bit of Leonard Cohen in us. The world I am sure would be a better place. RIP Leonard, a gift allowed to walk among us all be it for a short time.

Leonard was a true artist who was a treasure to us all. Leonard we thank you for your legacy and those who know of you will make sure our children also know who you were and your music!

    "things are going to slide in all directions there won't be anything you can measure anymore" it's incredible how prescient these lyrics are. We're in a post-truth world where people can barely even agree on what is fact and what is fiction and I think he nailed it with this lyric. Slide implies movement with friction and the idea of sliding in all directions shows that it's not just social progress in one direction anymore there's a fight for who can slide things in their favor the most

      The song was written in response to the fall of the Soviet Union. This feeling was explored completely independently by the late historian John Lukacs who I'm sure never heard of Cohen when he wrote about historical consciousness. He had a sense that the order coming after the USSR was much more terrifying then what came before.
