Leonard Cohen - The Future (1992/2014) [Hi-Res]

The title track of the album The Future, released in 1992, this is one of Leonard Cohen’s darkest and most mysterious songs.

The ambiguous singer is describing a prophetic vision of a future — possibly a religious apocalypse based on the Judeo-Christian tradition and the Eastern concept of Moksha/Nirvana.

Realizing that the future is not to his liking, the singer asks for the world to be restored to its previous state, one of violence and separation.
