You Want It Darker歌词

作词 : Leonard Cohen
作曲 : Patrick Leonard
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
