[Verse]
Em chordEm
If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game
G chordG Am chordAm
If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame

If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
G chordG Am chordAm
You want it darker

We kill the flame

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

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

Em chordEm G chordG Am chordAm


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


[Chorus]
C chordC G chordG D chordD
Hineni, hineni
Em chordEm G chordG Am chordAm
I'm ready, my lord

Em chordEm G chordG Am chordAm
Em chordEm G chordG Am chordAm


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


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


[Chorus]
