• You Want It Darker

If you are the dealer
I'm out of the game
If you are the healer
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 and sanctified
Be Thy Holy Name
Vilified and 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 an 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 now
The guards are taking aim
I struggled with some demons
They were middle-class and tame
Didn’t know I had permission
To murder and to maim

You want it darker

Hineni Hineni
I'm ready, my Lord

Magnified and sanctified
Be Thy Holy Name
Vilified and 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
I'm out of the game
If you are the healer
I'm broken and lame
If thine is the glory
Then mine must be the shame

You want it darker

Hineni Hineni
I'm ready, my Lord
