[G] [Am] [Em] If you are the healer, I'm out of the game.
If you are the healer, [G] means I'm [Am] broken and lame.
[Em] If thine is the glory, then mine must be the shame.
You want it darker?.
[G] [C] We kill [Em] the flame.

[G] [Am] [Em] Magnified, sanctified be thy holy name.
Vilified, crucified [G] in the human [Am] frame.
[Em] A million candles burning for the help that never came.
You want it darker?.

[C] [Em] There's a lover in the story, but the story's still the same.
There's a lullabath of suffering and [G] a paradox [Am] to blame.
[Em] But it's written in the scriptures and it's not some idle claim.
You want it darker?.
[G] [Am] We kill [Em] the flame.

[G] [Am] They're [Em] lining up the prisoners and the guards to take an aim.
I struggled with [E] some demons, they [G] were middle class [Am] and tame.
I [Em] didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim.
You want it darker?.
[G] [Am] [C] .
[G] [D] He may be, he may be.
I'm ready, my [Em] lord.

[G] [Am] [Em] If you are the dealer, let me out of the game.
If you are the healer, I'm [G] broken and [Am] lame.
