You Want It Darker
Lyrics (written by Derek Recsei):
If you are my mother, I’m out of the game
If you are my father, it means I’m broken and lame
If this is my family, then mine must be shame
You want it darker
They kill the flame
Minimised, petrified
By the holy name
Vilified, crucified
In the human frame
A million nighttimes turning
To a joy that never came
You want it darker
Hineni, hineni
I’m ready my lord
There’s a sister in the story
Actually, three of us the same
There’s a lullaby for suffering
With an early death to blame
But it’s written in the scriptures
And it’s not some idle claim
You want it darker
They kill the flame
They’re lining up the navy guns
And the hawks are taking aim
I struggle with my demons
They are 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
By the holy name
Fortified, glorified
In the human frame
A transformation turning
To a joy that always gives
You want it brighter
I light the flame
If you are my mother, I’m in the right game
If you are my father, it means I’m healed and game
If this is my family, then mine must be the name
You want it brighter
Hineni, hineni x2
I’m ready my lord
