Avalanche - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)
Well I stepped into an avalanche

It covered up my soul;

When I am not this hunchback
That you see

I sleep beneath the golden hill

You who wish to conquer pain
You must learn
Learn to serve me well

You strike my side by accident

As you go down for your gold

The cripple here
That you clothe and feed

Is neither starved nor cold;

He does not ask for your company
Not at the centre
The centre of the world

When I am on a pedestal

You did not raise me there

Your laws do not compel me

To kneel grotesque and bare

I myself am the pedestal
For this ugly hump at
Which you stare

You who wish to conquer pain

You must learn
What makes me kind;

The crumbs of love
That you offer me

They're the crumbs I've left behind

Your pain is no credential here
It's just the shadow
Shadow of my wound

I have begun to long for you

I who have no greed;

I have begun to ask for you

I who have no need

You say you've gone away from me
But I can feel you when you breathe

Do not dress in those rags for me

I know you are not poor;

You don't love me
Quite so fiercely now
When you know
That you are not sure

It is your turn beloved
It is your flesh that I wear
