[Intro]
Em Em Em Em Em Em Em Em


[Verse]
Em Em
If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game
G G Am Am
If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame
Em Em
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
G G Am Am
You want it darker
Em Em G G Am Am
We kill the flame

Em Em G G Am Am


[Pre-Chorus]
Em Em
Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
G G Am Am
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
Em Em
A A million candles burning for the help that never came
G G Am Am
You want it darker


[Chorus]
C C G G D D
Hineni, hineni
Em Em G G Am Am
I'm ready, my lord

Em Em G G Am Am


[Verse]
Em Em
There's a lover in the story
Em Em
But the story's still the same
Em Em
There's a lullaby for suffering
G G Am Am
And a paradox to blame
Em Em
But it's written in the scriptures

And it's not some idle claim
G G Am Am
You want it darker
Em Em G G Am Am
We kill the flame

Em Em G G Am Am


[Verse]
Em Em
They're lining up the prisoners
Em Em
And the guards are taking aim
Em Em
I struggled with some demons
G G Am Am
They were middle class and tame
Em Em
I didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim
G G Am Am
You want it darker


[Chorus]
C C G G D D
Hineni, hineni
Em Em G G Am Am
I'm ready, my lord
Em Em G G Am Am
Em Em G G Am Am
Em Em G G Am Am


[Post-Chorus]
Em Em
Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
G G Am Am
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
Em Em
A A million candles burning for the love that never came
G G Am Am
You want it darker
Em Em G G Am Am
We kill the flame
Em Em G G Am Am


[Verse]
Em Em
If you are the dealer, let me out of the game
G G Am Am
If you are the healer, I'm broken and lame
Em Em
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
G G Am Am
You want it darker


[Chorus]
C C G G D D
Hineni, hineni
C C G G D D
Hineni, hineni
Em Em G G Am Am
I'm ready, my lord
Em Em G G Am Am
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
Em Em G G Am Am
ah hi ne ni hi nen i
Em Em G G Am Am
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
Em Em G G Am Am
ah hi ne ni hi nen i
