lyrics for Yom Kippur

"the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul.

When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant..."

-from The Future

OK, so the rest of the song might not be so appropriate for Y'K, but it's by Leonard Cohen, which I find explains alot. great, haunting song. sigh. i think it's time for LC listening again. If you want something a little less black, check out If It Be Your Will instead.

And if you can find it for an affordable price, you really should buy Book of Mercy. It's got an amazing collection of prose poems, structured like Tehillim. Very beautiful, haunting, and powerful. Like prayers
