Leonard Cohen – You Want It Darker Lyrics

Artist: Leonard Cohen
Song: You Want 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, 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
