    Verse 1
    If 
    you 
    are 
    the 
    dealer, 
    I'm 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    game 

    If 
    you 
    are 
    the 
    healer, 

    it 
    means 
    I'm 
    broken 
    and 
    lame 

    If 
    thine 
    is 
    the 
    glory 

    then 
    mine 
    must 
    be 
    the 
    shame 

    You 
    want 
    it 
    darker 

    We 
    kill 
    the 
    flame 



    Pre-chorus 1
    Magnified, 
    sanctified, 
    be 
    thy 
    holy 
    name 

    Vilified, 
    crucified, 
    in 
    the 
    human 
    frame 

    million 
    candles 
    burning 

    for 
    the 
    help 
    that 
    never 
    came 

    You 
    want 
    it 
    darker 

    Chorus 1
    Hi
    neni, 
    hineni 

    I'm 
    ready, 
    my 
    Lord 



    Verse 2
    There's 
    lover 
    in 
    the 
    story 

    But 
    the 
    story's 
    still 
    the 
    same 

    There's 
    lullaby 
    for 
    suffering 

    And 
    paradox 
    to 
    blame 

    But 
    it's 
    written 
    in 
    the 
    scriptures 

    And 
    it's 
    not 
    some 
    idle 
    claim 

    You 
    want 
    it 
    darker 

    We 
    kill 
    the 
    flame 



    Verse 3
    They're 
    lining 
    up 
    the 
    prisoners 

    And 
    the 
    guards 
    are 
    taking 
    aim 

    struggled 
    with 
    some 
    demons 

    They 
    were 
    middle 
    class 
    and 
    tame 

    didn't 
    know 
    had 
    permission 

    to 
    murder 
    and 
    to 
    maim 

    You 
    want 
    it 
    darker 


    Chorus 2
    Hi
    neni, 
    hineni 

    I'm 
    ready, 
    my 
    Lord 





    Pre-chorus 2
    Magnified, 
    sanctified, 
    be 
    thy 
    holy 
    name 

    Vilified, 
    crucified, 
    in 
    the 
    human 
    frame 

    million 
    candles 
    burning 

    for 
    the 
    love 
    that 
    never 
    came 

    You 
    want 
    it 
    darker 

    We 
    kill 
    the 
    flame 



    Verse 4
    If 
    you 
    are 
    the 
    dealer, 
    let 
    me 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    game 

    If 
    you 
    are 
    the 
    healer, 
    I'm 
    broken 
    and 
    lame 

    If 
    thine 
    is 
    the 
    glory, 
    mine 
    must 
    be 
    the 
    shame 

    You 
    want 
    it 
    darker 


    Chorus 3
    Hi
    neni, 
    hineni 

    Hi
    neni, 
    hineni 

    Outro 1
    I'm 
    ready, 
    my 

    (Lord)

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
