Y ou Wan't 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 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 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, we kill the flame

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, 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, we kill the flame

Hineni, hineni

I'm ready, my Lord »
