Iggy Pop - You Want It Darker lyrics
[Iggy Pop - You Want It Darker lyrics]
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
Thеre's a lover in the story
But thе 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
I'm ready oh
Oh ah
Ah (I'm ready, my Lord)
I'm ready, my Lord
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
Thеre's a lover in the story
But thе 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
I'm ready oh
Oh ah
Ah (I'm ready, my Lord)
I'm ready, my Lord
