Perhaps Leonard Cohen read Kopelev.
Perhaps vice versa.
Or perhaps I merely imagine the similarities...

The last two stanzas of Cohen's Story of Isaac:

And if you call me brother now
Forgive me if I inquire
Just according to whose plan
When it all comes down to dust
I will kill you if I must
I will help you if I can
When it all comes down to dust
I will help you if I must
I will kill you if I can
Have mercy on our uniform
Man of peace or man of war
The peacock spreads his fan

Joel
