[Intro]

Em Em Em Em

[Verse]

Em

If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game

G Am

If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame

Em

If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame

G Am

You want it darker

Em G Am

We kill the flame

Em G Am

[Pre-Chorus]

Em

Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name

G Am

Vilified, crucified, in the human frame

Em

A million candles burning for the help that never came

G Am

You want it darker

[Chorus]

C G D

OOO Hineni, hineni

Em G Am

I'm ready, my lord

Em G Am

[Verse]

Em

There's a lover in the story

Em

But the story's still the same

Em

There's a lullaby for suffering

G Am

And a paradox to blame

Em

But it's written in the scriptures

And it's not some idle claim

G Am

You want it darker

Em G Am

We kill the flame

Em G Am

[Verse]

Em

They're lining up the prisoners

Em

And the guards are taking aim

Em

I struggled with some demons

G Am

They were middle class and tame

Em

I didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim

G Am

You want it darker

[Chorus]…
