Lyrics:
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 the holy name
Feel the fire, 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 idol claim
You want it darker
We killed the flame
You're lining up to prisoners
And the guards are taking him
I struggle with some demons
They were middle class and dean
I didn't know I had permission
To murder and to mend
You want it darker…
