I've posted a different version of this a while ago, but I found a better quality audio version with a fairly well fan made video to go along with it. It's Antony singing Leonard Cohen's "If It Be Your Will". This song is just amazing and so powerful. If you get a chance, listen to it enough, really listen, and it'll wake your soul up at least for a while. I just wish everyone could understand the entire meaning of this song, without having their souls crushed in the process of learning its meaning, before getting to the point where hope sweeps out the despair. I wouldn't dare try to explain it and be responsible for the carnage of the unprepared hearts who receive it. I've already said too much, just watch the video.
Lyrics If it be your will That I speak no more And my voice be still As it was before I will speak no more I shall abide until I am spoken for If it be your will If it be your will That a voice be true From this broken hill I will sing to you From this broken hill All your praises they shall ring If it be your will To let me sing From this broken hill All your praises they shall ring If it be your will To let me sing If it be your will If there is a choice Let the rivers fill Let the hills rejoice Let your mercy spill On all these burning hearts in hell If it be your will To make us well And draw us near And bind us tight All your children here In their rags of light In our rags of light All dressed to kill And end this night If it be your will If it be your will.

I personally like Cohen's original more, but either way it has a strong feeling to it. I have only heard this once before. All I remember is it made me depressed and sad, but I never grasped the meaning. I still don't know the meaning.
