You Want It Darker
You Want It Darker

If you are the dealer I'm out of the game
如果你是庄家,那我就退出牌局
If you are the healer it means I'm broken and lame
如果你是医生,想必我就是一瘸一拐
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
如果你享受荣耀,那我只能忍受耻辱
You want it darker
如果你向往黑暗
We kill the flame
就让我们扑灭光明
Magnified sanctified be thy holy name
你的名字神圣而光辉
Vilified crucified in the human frame
血肉之躯却被折辱钉死
A million candles burning for the help that never came
千万支蜡烛祈求着无法降临的庇佑
You want it darker
如果你向往黑暗
Hineni hineni
我在这里,我在这里
I'm ready my lord
主啊,我已经做好准备
There's a lover in the story
这个故事中有一个爱人
But the story's still the same
但故事还是一样的结局
There's a lullaby for suffering
苦难之中有一首摇篮曲
And a paradox to blame
和一个可以归咎的悖论
But it's written in the scriptures
但这些都写在圣经文中
And it's not some idle claim
也不是什么无由的论断
You want it darker
如果你向往黑暗
We kill the flame
就让我们扑灭光明
They're lining up the prisoners
他们将囚犯排成一队
And the guards are taking aim
守卫们已经举枪瞄准
I struggled with some demons
我抗争过一些恶魔
They were middle class and tame
他们不过平庸怯懦
I didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim
我并不知道我被允许杀人伤人
You want it darker
如果你向往黑暗
Hineni hineni
我在这里,我在这里
I'm ready my lord
主啊,我做好了准备
Magnified sanctified be thy holy name
你的名字神圣而光辉
Vilified crucified in the human frame
血肉之躯却被折辱钉死
A million candles burning for the love that never came
千万支蜡烛祈求着无法降临的庇佑
You want it darker
如果你向往黑暗
We kill the flame
就让我们扑灭光明
If you are the dealer let me out of the game
如果你是庄家,那我就退出牌局
If you are the healer I'm broken and lame
如果你是医生,想必我就是一瘸一拐
If thine is the glory mine must be the shame
如果你享受荣耀,那我只能忍受耻辱
You want it darker
如果你向往黑暗
Hineni hineni
我在这里,我在这里
Hineni hineni
我在这里,我在这里
I'm ready my lord
主啊,我做好了准备
