[G] [Am] [Em] If you are the dealer, 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] [Em] They're lining up the prisoners and the guards to take an aim.
I struggled [E] with some demons, they [G] were middle class [Am] and tame.
