Eclipse of the Sun

You Want It Darker !

 

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.
