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
