Leonard Cohen – Alone the Master and the Slave Embrace Lyrics

Alone the Master and the Slave Embrace Lyrics by Leonard Cohen

Alone the master and the slave embrace.
I will not tell the banker or the doctor.
See, they watch the sun descend
behind the unowned mountain.
They know nothing of covenant or phoenix.
Tonight a sun descends
beautifully behind a mountain,
and my two men
will dream this scene many times
between the times
they punish one another.
