Darkness my old friend & When the Sounds of Silence Become The Cold and Very Broken..... Halleluiah..... Flashes like a neon light Split the Night... Like the Star of Bethlehem

“…And love is not a victory march, it’s a cold and it’s a very broken, ‘Hallelujah.’”

​Halleluiah
by Leonard Cohen
Live in London 2009
​
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 4th the 5th 
The minor fall a major lift
The battled King composing Halleluiah
 
Halleluiah Halleluiah Halleluiah Halleluiah
 
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 and
She cut your hair and
And from your lips she drew the Halleluiah
 
Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah

Now maybe there’s a God above
As for me all I ever learned from love
Is how to shoot
At someone who outdrew you
But it’s not a cry that ya hear tonight
It’s not some pilgrim
who claims to have seen the light, no
It’s a cold and its a very broken Halleluiah
 
Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah

(instrumental)

Halleluiah, Halleluiah, ​Halleluiah, Halleluiah

O people
I’ve been here before
I know this room
and I’ve walked this floor
You see I used to live alone
before I knew you
And I’ve seen your flag
on the marble arch
But this in love, love is not
some kind of victory march; No,
It’s a cold and its a very lonely Halleluiah

Halleluiah, Halleluiah, ​Halleluiah, Halleluiah

There was a time ya let me know
Whats really going on below
But Now, now you never
even show it to me, do you
I remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove she was moving too
And every single prayer that we drew was Hallelujah

Halleluiah, Halleluiah,​Halleluiah, Halleluiah

I've done my best I know it wasnt much
I couldn't feel so I learned to touch
I've told the truth I didnt come here
to London just to fool you
and even though it all went wrong
I'll stand right here before the Lord of song
with nothing...
Nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah
Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah
Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah
Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah

​​​Halleluiah
by Leonard Cohen
Performed by Pentatonix
​
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music do ya’
Well it goes like this the 4th the 5th 
The minor fall the major lift
The baffled King composing Halleluiah
 
Halleluiah Halleluiah Halleluiah Halleluiah
 
Your faith was strong
but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to the kitchen chair
She broke your throne and
She cut your hair and
And from your lips she drew the Halleluiah
 
Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah
 
Well baby I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room
and I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and broken Halleluiah
 
Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah
 
Maybe there’s a God above
but all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody
​who outdrew ya
And it’s not a cry that ya hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it's broken Halleluiah
 
Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah
Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah
Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah
 
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

​You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
but if I did well really whats it to ya
there's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter what ya heard
the holy or the broken hallelujah

Halleluiah, Halleluiah,​Halleluiah, Halleluiah
