"Who by Fire" is a song
written by Leonard Cohen in the 1970s.
It explicitly references
his Jewish roots, using the lyrics
of the prayer Unetanneh Tokef.
It is a loose adaptation
of the Hebrew prayer "ונתנה תוקף קדושת היום"
"Let us make known the absolute holiness of this day"
recited on Yom Kippur.
And who by fire, who by water
Who in the sunshine, who in the night time
Who by high ordeal, who by common trial
Who in your merry merry month of may
Who by very slow decay
And who shall I say is calling?
And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate
Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt
Who by avalanche, who by powder
Who for his greed, who for his hunger
And who shall I say is calling?
And who by brave assent, who by accident
Who in solitude, who in this mirror
Who by his lady's command, who by his own hand
Who in mortal chains, who in power
And who shall I say is calling?
