You Want it Darker

Ooh, ooh

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

Ooh, 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
It's written in the scriptures, 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
Didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim
You want it darker

Ooh, 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

Ooh, Hineni, Hineni
I'm ready, my Lord

If you are the dealer, let me 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

Ooh, Hineni, Hineni
Ooh, Hineni, Hineni
I'm ready, my Lord

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
