Hallelujah
Reks Lyrics

I've heard there was a secret chord
There is said to be a special melody

That David played, and it pleased the Lord
David played the melody and won favor with God

But you don't really care for music, do you?
But you don't have interest or appreciation for music, right?

It goes like this
The melody goes like this

The fourth, the fifth
The fourth and fifth notes of the scale are played

The minor fall, the major lift
There is a melancholy note, then a triumphant note

The baffled king composing Hallelujah
A puzzled ruler writes a song of praise

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You had strong faith, but required verification

You saw her bathing on the roof
You observed her showering on the roof

Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
Her beauty overwhelmed you when illuminated by the moon

She tied you to a kitchen chair
She bound you to a seat in the kitchen

She broke your throne, she cut your hair
She destroyed your power and cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
And from your mouth, she drew a song of praise

Maybe I've been here before
Perhaps I have experienced this previously

I know this room, I've walked this floor
I recognize this room, I have been here before

I used to live alone before I knew you
I resided solo before encountering you

I've seen your flag on the marble arch
I noticed your emblem on the grand structure

Love is not a victory march
Love is not a winnable competition

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Love is a desolate and shattered song of praise

There was a time you'd let me know
You once divulged information to me

What's real and going on below
What is happening underneath the surface

But now you never show it to me, do you?
But now you don't display it to me, do you?

Remember when I moved in you?
Recall when I became a part of you?

The holy dark was moving too
The sacred obscurity was also shifting

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
And every inhalation we took was a song of praise

Maybe there's a God above
Perhaps there is a deity in the heavens

And all I ever learned from love
And the only thing I ever understood from love

Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
Was to fight with someone who outmaneuvered you

It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not an audible wail in the nighttime

It's not someone who's seen the light
It's not an individual who has had an awakening

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
It's a desolate and shattered song of praise

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Praise, Praise

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Praise, Praise

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Praise, Praise

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Praise, Praise
