Leonard Cohen has revealed his new spoken word song off his upcoming album Old Ideas.

The song is called Darkness and is his first release since Dear Heather in 2004 and his twelfth studio album for his career.

Darkness sees Cohen muse on his experience on this Earth in that comforting, all-knowing tone that only Cohen can inject into song.

'The present's not that pleasant, just a lot of things to do. I thought the past would last me, but the darkness got that too,' he sings at one point. 'Winning you was easy, but darkness was the prize,' he sings at another. As though recounting a rich life of experiences.

Old Ideas will see the light of day on January 30.
