You Want It Darker |
| If you are the dealer |
| I’m out of the game |
| If you are the healer it means |
| I’m broken and lame |
| If thine is the glory then |
| Mine must be the shame |
| You want it darker |
| We kill the flame |
| Magnified, sanctified |
| Be Thy Holy Name |
| Vilified, crucified |
| In the human frame |
| A million candles burning |
| For the help that never came |
| You want it darker |
| Hineni, hineni |
| I’m ready, my Lord |
| There’s a lover in the story |
| But the story’s still the same |
| There’s a lullaby for suffering |
| And a paradox to blame |
| But it’s written in the scriptures |
| And it’s not some idle claim |
| You want it darker |
| We kill the flame |
| They’re lining up the prisoners |
| And the guards are taking aim |
| I struggled with some demons |
| They were middle-class and tame |
| I didn’t know I had permission |
| To murder and to maim |
| You want it darker |
| Hineni, hineni |
| I’m ready, my Lord |
| Magnified, sanctified |
| Be Thy Holy Name |
| Vilified, crucified |
| In the human frame |
| A million candles burning |
| For the love that never came |
| You want it darker |
| We kill the flame |
| If you are the dealer |
| Let me out of the game |
| If you are the healer |
| I’m broken and lame |
| If thine is the glory |
| Mine must be the shame |
| You want it darker |
| Hineni, hineni |
| Hineni, hineni |
| I’m ready, my Lord |
