Leonard Cohen Night Magic - Song To My Assassin Lyrics

Night Magic - Song To My Assassin Lyrics

(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 ...
