You Want It Darker

EmIf you are the dealer, I'm out of the game
If you are the healer, it means IG'm broken and Amlame
EmIf thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
You want it darkerGAm
We kill the flameEmGAm

EmMagnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified, in Gthe human framAme
EmA million candles burning for the help that never came
You want it darkerGAm

EmThere's a lover in the story
EmBut the story's still the same
EmThere's a lullaby for suffering
And a Gparadox to blameAm
EmBut it's written in the scriptures
And it's not some idle claim
You want it darkerGAm
We kill the flameEmGAm

EmThey're lining up the prisoners
EmAnd the guards are taking aim
EmI struggled with some demons
They were Gmiddle class and Amtame
EmI didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim
You want it darkerGAm
COOO GDHineni, hineni
I'm ready, my EmlordGAm

EmMagnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified, in Gthe human framAme
EmA million candles burning for the love that never came
You want it darkerGAm
We kill the flameEmGAm

EmIf you are the dealer, let me out of the game
If you are the healer, I'm broken Gand lameAm
EmIf thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
You want it darkerGAm
