[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]

Hineni, hineni
Em G Am
I'm ready, my lord

[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]

I'm ready, my lord

Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name

Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
Em
A million candles burning for the love that never came

You want it darker

We kill the flame
Em G Am
[Verse]
Em
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 then mine must be the shame

You want it darker
