| 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 |
Ref.
| Maybe 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 |
Ref.
| There was a time when you let me know |
| What's 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 |
Ref.
| Maybe there's a God above |
| And all I ever learned from love |
| Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you |
| And it's not a cry you can hear at night |
| It's not somebody who's seen the light |
| It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah |
Ref. (2x)
