Bilingual
If you are the dealer I'm out of the game
ย
If you are the healer it means I'm broken and lame
ย
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
ย
You want it darker
ย
We kill the flame
ย
Magnified sanctified be thy holy name
ย
Vilified crucified in the human frame
ย
A million candles burning for the help that never came
ย
You want it darker
ย
Hineni hineni
ย
I'm ready my lord
ย
There's a lover in the story
But the story's still the same
ย
There's a lullaby for suffering
And a paradox to blame
ย
But it's written in the scriptures
And it's not some idle claim
ย
You want it darker
ย
We kill the flame
ย
They're lining up the prisoners
And the guards are taking aim
ย
I struggled with some demons
They were middle class and tame
I didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim
ย
You want it darker
ย
Hineni hineni
ย
I'm ready my lord
ย
Magnified sanctified be thy holy name
ย
Vilified crucified in the human frame
ย
A million candles burning for the love that never came
ย
You want it darker
ย
We kill the flame
ย
If you are the dealer let me out of the game
ย
If you are the healer I'm broken and lame
ย
If thine is the glory mine must be the shame
ย
You want it darker
ย
Hineni hineni
ย
Hineni hineni
ย
I'm ready my lord
