Pēc tam, kad kādas desmit reizes biju noklausījusies Avalanche Nika Keiva izpildījumā, sāku beidzot domāt, kā tas nākas, ka keivs iemācījies rakstīt dzeju šī dziesma ir tikai iekš B-sides un rarities, nevis starp viņa zināmākajām,
pēc tam, protams, #uzzināju_pēdējā, ka tā ir Leonarda Koena dziesma, kas visu izskaidro



Leonard Cohen

Avalanche

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, 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
