You Want It Darker Songtext / Lyric

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 the holy name

Feel the fire, 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 idol claim

You want it darker

We killed the flame



You're lining up to prisoners

And the guards are taking him

I struggle with some demons

They were middle class and dean

I didn't know I had permission

To murder and to mend

You want it darker



Hineni, hineni

I'm ready, My Lord



Magnified, sanctified

Be the holy name

Feel the fire, crucified

In the human frame

A million candles burning

For the love that never came

You want it darker

We killed 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



Hineni



Hineni



Hineni



Hineni
