Hydrazoic posted 'Avalanche' by Cohen and Aero was curious abpout its meaning......so supposedly about how earth sees us humans.
Not many I know who listen to his music anymore....always thought he was very good but very melancholy most of the time. Canadian btw....and the name Cohen means "priest" and comes from the Hebrew word kohen. Historically, it refers to the priestly caste of Jewish society who were descendants of Aaron, the brother of Moses, and were responsible for temple rituals. While primarily a surname, it is sometimes used as a first name by individuals of Jewish heritage to honor this tradition.
'Hallelujah' by Cohen
one of his most well known songs.....

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifthThe minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing "Hallelujah"Hallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah,
HallelujahYour faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chairShe broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what's it to ya?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the lord of song
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujahHallelujah,
HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah

Not in the original versions...apparently Cohen wrote other verses he often did live...and others who covered the song also sang alt verses.

One of my all time favorite Dead Can Dance tracks..as well as favorite songs period.....profound lyrics .

Cardinal Sin

As countless fools
Are often loathe to testify
"It's an illusion of life
The whole cause of our demise"
