| Leonard Cohen – The Traitor Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
What the Traitor has betrayed is the ideal of love. His 'scarlet fever' is lust, but when it is satisfied by 'lingering on her thighs', the Traitor is shamed. He recognises that other young men go off to battle without high ideals and they too become 'the enemies of love'. Lovely metaphors - great Leonard Cohen. |
