Leonard Cohen – You Want It Darker I believe he may be referring to the SHOAH = Holocaust and ages-long persecution of the Jews: "Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name Vilified, crucified, in the human frame A million candles burning for the love that never came You want it darker We kill the flame" "Magnified, Sanctified be thy holy name" is a straight English translation of the first four words of the Kaddish, a Jewish prayer for the dead "A million candles burning for the love that never came" - 6 million were were not saved - at the Jerusalem memorial 1 1/2 million candles are burning to commemorate the murdered children. |
