Leonard Cohen - You Want it Darker lyrics

[Featured on the Soundtrack of 'Peaky Blinders'] 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 k** 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 k**ed the flame You're lining up to prisoners And the guards are taking him I struggle with some demons They were middle cla** and [?] I didn't know I 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 k**ed 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 k** the flame [??] I'm ready, My Lord
