you want it darker

• leonard cohen'in ekim ayinda cikacak olan albumune ait hediye ettigi parcasi. tesadufen denk gelince sanki "al bakalim sabaha kadar dinle" dedigini hissettim bir an. sozlerini de yazayim tam olsun.
  
  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
  we kill the flame
  
  magnified, sanctified
  be the holy name
  feel the fire, crucified
  in the human frame
  a million candles burning
  for the help that never came
  you want it darker
  
  i'm ready, my lord
  
  there's a lover in the story
  but the 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 idol claim
  you want it darker
  we killed the flame
  
  you're lining up to prisoners
  and the guards are taking him
  i struggle with some demons
  they were middle class and [?]
  i didn't know ı had permission
  to murder and to mend
  you want it darker
  
  i'm ready, my lord
  
  magnified, sanctified
  be the holy name
  feel the fire, crucified
  in the human frame
  a million candles burning
  for the love that never came
  you want it darker
  we killed 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
  we kill the flame
