Leonard Cohen - Brighter Than Our Sun lyrics

[Leonard Cohen - Brighter Than Our Sun lyrics]

Brighter than our sun
Bright as the window beyond death
The light in the universe
Cleans the eyes to stone

They prayed for lives without visions
Free from visions but not blind
They could only drone the prayer
They could not set it down

And windows persisted
And the eyes turned stone
They all had faces like statue Greeks
Marble and calm

And what happened to love
In the gleaming universe?
It froze in the heart of God
Froze on a spear of light
