Текст (слова) песни: Leonard Cohen - The Captain

Now the captain called me to his bed

He fumbled for my hand

"take these silver bars," he said

"im giving you command."

"command of what, theres no one here

Theres only you and me --

All the rest are dead or in retreat

Or with the enemy."

"complain, complain, thats all youve done

Ever since we lost

If its not the crucifixion

Then its the holocaust."

"may christ have mercy on your soul

For making such a joke

Amid these hearts that burn like coal

And the flesh that rose like smoke."

"i know that you have suffered, lad,

But suffer this awhile:

Whatever makes a soldier sad

Will make a killer smile."

"im leaving, captain, I must go

Theres blood upon your hand

But tell me, captain, if you know

Of a decent place to stand."

"there is no decent place to stand

In a massacre;

But if a woman take your hand

Go and stand with her."

"i left a wife in tennessee

And a baby in saigon --

I risked my life, but not to hear

Some country-western song."

"ah but if you cannot raise your love

To a very high degree,

Then youre just the man Ive been thinking of --

So come and stand with me."

"your standing days are done," I cried,

"youll rally me no more.

I dont even know what side

We fought on, or what for."

"im on the side thats always lost

Against the side of heaven

Im on the side of snake-eyes tossed

Against the side of seven.

And Ive read the bill of human rights

And some of it was true

But there wasnt any burden left

So Im laying it on you."

Now the captain he was dying

But the captain wasnt hurt

The silver bars were in my hand

Pinned them to my shirt.
