You Want It Darker

After weeks of tensions, Russia invaded Ukraine from multiple sides on the night of Wednesday to Thursday. Since then, fighting has been in different parts of Ukraine. Russia seems to have launched the attack on capital Kiev, but much is still unclear about the exact situation in Ukraine. You Want It Darker?

Leonard cohen - You want it darker
If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game
If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame
If thin 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

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 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 maxim
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, I'm out of the game
If you are the healer, I'm broken and lame
If thin is the glory mine must be the shame
You want it darker.

Hineni, Hineni
Hineni hineni
I'm ready, my lord

Leonard Cohen - You want it darker
If you're the dealer, I'm out of the game
If you're the healer, it means I'm broken and crippled
If yours is the glory, then mine must be the shame
You want it darker We kill the flame

Glorified, sanctified, be your holy name
Maligned, crucified, in the human body
Burning a million candles for the help that never came
Do you want it darker?

Hineni, Hineni
I'm done, my lord

There is a lover in the story
But the story is still the same
There is a lullaby for suffering
And a paradox to blame
But it's in the scriptures
And it's not a vain claim
You want it darker We kill the flame

They put the prisoners in a row
And the guards are aiming
I was struggling with a few demons
They were middle class and tame
I didn't know I had permission to kill and mutilate
You want it darker.

Hineni, Hineni
I'm done, my lord

Glorified, sanctified, be your holy name
Maligned, crucified, in the human body
Burning a million candles for Love that never came
You want it darker We kill the flame

If you're the dealer, I'm out of the game
If you're the healer, I'm broken and crippled
If yours is glory mine must be the shame
You want it darker.

Hineni, Hineni
Hineni hineni
I'm done, my lord
