The Great Event Lyrics - Leonard Cohen

It`s going to happen very soon. 

The great event which will end the horror. 

Which will end the sorrow. 

Next Tuesday, when the sun goes down, 

I will play the Moonlight Sonata backwards. 

This will reverse the effects of the world`s mad plunge into suffering, 

For the last 200 million years. 

What a lovely night that would be. 

What a sigh of relief, as the senile robins become bright red again, 

And the retired nightingales, 

Pick up their dusty tails, 

And assert the majesty of creation!
