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
You're lining up to prisoners
And the guards are taking aim
I struggle with some demons
They were middle class and dean
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 help 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
