Lyrics:
If you are the dealer
I'm out of the game
If you are the healer
It means I'm broken and lame
If thine 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 maim
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
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

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

Hineni
Hineni, hineni
Hineni

Such profound and meaningful lyrics can only be written by someone like him. What an amazing man he was!!

[karenmclean]

I learned today the words Hineni Hineni were spoken by Abraham when he was asked to sacrifice his son.
I came to this song as it is the only thing that matches my sorrow at another bloody war but this time with children and civilians in a cage. I am so glad Leonard did not get to see this. It has all got darker. We killed the flame.

[burroughsw]

Abrahams reply to God after being asked to sacrifice his son, so dark. A song about infanticide, yet Cohen makes the topic palatable and beautiful, that's a genius at work.

[jessiebelle]

I got chills. The future album. Should have been called the prophecy. He yells the truth and the truth hurts but we need it. The greatest poet Canada has ever had. This is on e if my favorites Suzanne. Everybody knows.

[shnobi]

This song spoke to my soul thank you .

[TehAmelie]

There are two things a lyrics video has to do: Show the words to the song in the right time, and spell them right. This video succeeds in this. That shouldn't be such a remarkable feat, but here we are.

If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game
If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame
If thine 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 maim
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, 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

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

Hineni
Hineni, hineni
Hineni

These words will mystifyingly nudge your soul.

[vincenthoesl]

I discovered this song yesterday, because of someone's death. "If you are the dealer, I want out of the game." Fists up, ready to fight the invisible enemy!

[jenniferbayes]

He was a damn good writer. These lyrics are like a poem. Love this song. ❤

[chrisharro]

Another song where Leonard struggles with, The Eternal.

[jeanhendrickx]

A million candles burning for the help that never came

[charlenedelfin]

This song is so painful to listen to, even though the beats are so good.

[chinchilla]

I struggled with some demons, they were middleclass and tame...
