Leonard Cohen Lyrics for Song: Song To My Assassin
 Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Leonard Cohen
 
 
 
 37899>(Written By Cohen, Performed In "Night Magic")
 
 
 
 (Michael) We were chosen, we were chosen
 
 Miles and miles apart
 
 I to love your kingdom
 
 You to love my heart
 
 
 
 (Angels) We were chosen
 
 We do what must
 
 What must be done
 
 
 
 (Michael) The love is intermittent
 
 The discipline continues
 
 I work on your spirit
 
 You work on my sinews.
 
 
 
 (Angels) We work on his sinews
 
 And the discipline continues
 
 
 
 We have fun 'cause
 
 We do what must
 
 What must be done
 
 
 
 (Michael) I watch myself from where you are
 
 Please do not be mistaken
 
 The spider web you see me through
 
 Is the view I've always taken
 
 
 
 Begin the ceremony now
 
 
 
 That we have been preparing
 
 I'm tired of this marble floor
 
 That we have both been sharing.
 
 
 
 (Angels) Now we will be sharing
 
 What he has been preparing!
 
 
 
 (Girls) He's the only one
 
 He's the only one
 
 He's the riddle of the music
 
 He's the music of my life
 
 
 
 (Boys) Now it begins
 
 Now it begins
 
 He's the riddle of the music
 
 He's the music of the sacrifice
 
 
 
 (Valkyries) Messenger
 
 Messenger
 
 Our will
 
 Will be done
 
 
 
 (Angels) We work on his sinews
 
 And the discipline continues
 
 
 
 (Everyone) Begin the ceremony
 
 Begin the sacrifice ...
