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?
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah (4x)
Your faith was strong, you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah (4x)
Baby, I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before, I knew you
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 (4x)
They say that there's a God above
But all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah (4x)
You say i took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if i did
Well really, what's it to ya?
There is a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't at all witch your heart
The holy author broken hallelujah
Hallelujah (4x)
I'd try my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't fail so i try to touch
I told the thruth and never tried to fool ya
And even though it hold your up
I stand in front before the Lord of Sword
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
Hallelujah (4x)
