You Want It Darker?

https://youtu.be/Myd33zH1NTc

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

(Music Song: “You Want It Darker” by Leonard Cohen)
