You Want It Darker (God Bless Mr.Cohen)

6 string Cigar box guitar. From Leonard Cohen's last Album written by Patrick Leonard. "Hineni" basically mean your sprit is ready to be delivered to it's God. In this song Patrick put the singer in the boots of a Hitler Youth who is unsure of his Human orders and God's orders, and the whole time the Jew's cry "Hineni". God Bless Leonard Cohen


If you are the dealer
I’m out of the game
If you are the healer
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 Hinen
I’m ready, my Lord

Thanks turtle, Mr. Cohen was one of those over the top artist it took a few day to get the nerve to do it.

 Thanks you so much Nancy, the song is longer it repeats the first 2 verses but 3 minutes of this is long enough. Hope you and your family are all doing well.

thanks pick, it's people like Cohen and Waits that prove in music you can do whatever you want.
