Ive heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you dont 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, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Maybe Ive been here before I know this room, Ive walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you Ive seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
There was a time when you let me know Whats real and going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? And remember when I moved in you The Holy Dark was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Maybe theres a God above And all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you And its not a cry you can hear at night Its not somebody whos seen the light Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah
