    Hallelujah

    Uploaded by

    Marija Radenković
    The song describes a secret chord that pleased the Lord, and references a king composing "Hallelujah." It then describes a relationship, with one person's faith being strong but needing proof, seeing the other bathing on the roof. The relationship is broken, with thrown breaking a throne and cutting hair. It ends questioning if there is a God above, and what is learned from love is how to shoot someone faster, with the cry at night not being someone who found light, but a cold and broken Hallelujah.

    Well I heard there was a secret chord

    That David played and it pleased the Lord


    But you don't really care for music, do you?
    Well it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth
    The minor fall and the major lift
    The baffled king composing Hallelujah
    Hallelujah [x4]
    Your faith was strong but you needed proof
    You saw her bathing on the roof
    Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
    She tied you to her kitchen chair
    She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
    Hallelujah [x4]
    Baby I've been here before
    I've seen this room and I've walked this floor (you know)
    I used to live alone before I knew you
    And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
    And love is not a victory march
    It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
    Hallelujah [x4]
    There was a time when you let me know
    What's really going on below
    But now you never show that to me, do you?
    But remember when I moved in you
    And the holy dove was moving too
    And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
    Hallelujah [x4]
    Maybe there's a God above
    All I've ever learned from love
    Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
    And it's not a cry that you hear at night
    It's not somebody who's seen the light
    It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
