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
Hineni Hineni,
hineni Hineni
Le parole di questo Halleluyah sono in buona parte improvvisate.
Questa è la versione recepita dalla storia:
Now I've
heard there was a secret chord
That David
played, and it pleased the Lord
But you
dont really care for music, do you?
It goes
like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor
falls, the major lifts
The baffled
king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah
Your faith
was strong but you needed proof
You saw her
bathing on the roof
Her beauty
and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied
you to a kitchen chair
She broke
your throne, and she cut your hair
And from
your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah
Maybe I've
been here before
I know this
room, I've walked this floor
I used to
live alone before I knew you
I've seen
your flag on the marble arch
love is not
a victory march
Its a cold
and its a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah
You say I
took the Name in vain
I dont even
know the Name
But if I
did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a
blaze of light in every word
It doesnt
matter which you heard
The holy or
the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah
I did my
best, but it wasn't much
I couldn't
feel, so I tried to touch
I've told
the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even
though it all went wrong
I'll stand
before the Lord of song
With
nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah...
