Who By Fire? And who by fire, who by water, Who in the sunshine, who in the night time, Who by high ordeal, who by common trial, Who in your merry merry month of may, Who by very slow decay, And who shall I say is calling? And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate, Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt, And who by avalanche, who by powder, Who for his greed, who for his hunger, And who shall I say is calling? And who by brave assent, who by accident, Who in solitude, who in this mirror, Who by his lady's command, who by his own hand, Who in mortal chains, who in power, And who shall I say is calling?

Leonard Cohen
Forgive me, dear mother, For I am dead. Inside and out. I can't feel the pyre, Or the cold grave. Forgive me, dear father, This is the day you dread. I know this is not how it works I am tired. You'll just have to wait. Forgive me, dear brother, I know you've left. You have your own Disasters to live, I wont be another day. Forgive me, dear friend, It is you I've bothered Every time I was smothered By the thoughts in my head. Freedom is on its way. Forgive me, dear lover, For I put the noose around your neck, Every time I felt dead. I have to set you free, let you stay. Forgive me, dear stranger, You don't need to read this, I will be gone, None of this will matter. You will see a better day.
