"Hallelujah" lyrics
Aurelio Voltaire Lyrics
"Hallelujah"
(originally by Leonard Cohen)
I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you'll never show that to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I gave you all, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I told the truth, I never come to fool you
And I'm sorry that it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

The Dreadnoughts - "The Best Of 'em" Well the news came down
At quarter past three
The wretched duel is won
Your George is safe
And Julian is free
So go on out
Into the sun
And wave your flags
And pound your feet
And kiss the strangers...
JonTron & The Gregory Brothers - "SDGAF" She doesn't give a fuck
What anyone thinks about her, ooh
She doesn't give a fuck
She got better things to do
Than give a single fuck

Lord Of The Lost - "Porcelain" Come hold me close
Sink your teeth into my skin
Torn far below
Break me like porcelain
I let go of fear
And I'll never regret
The end feels so near
But I'll never forget
I want to believe
But once...
Harley Poe - "Vampire's Night Out" Went to a bar, I saw you sittin' there
Pretty thin and your skin so dang fair
Offered me a drink, I said "No, but that's sweet."
Didn't have a clue I saw you as meat
Talked for a while, started to...
Ludo - "Overdone" I'm a snake in the grass
Watch your feet,
Let me pass.
I'm tight and afraid
I can't eat,
I can't change.
And all the little mice
Are dancing in sunlight
While I shuffle past,...
