I heard there was a secret chord,
That David played and it pleased the lord,
But you don't really care for music do yah,
It goes like this the fourth the fifth,
The minor fall the major lift,
The baffled king composed an Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

Your faith was strong but you needed proof,
You did not know what was the truth,
The children screamed but not directly to yah,
They were sacrificed to pagan lust,
Yet the Oligarchs claimed that they were just,
And their blasphemous lips echoed Hallelujah!

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

Well you heard them say that Christ is king,
And that made your broken heart take wing,
But did you ever let Jesus's words speak to yah?
He said to turn the other cheek,
But you insisted that was too weak,
Your battle cry was filled with hallelujah,

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

What good is life when you're just a slave,
Your life's not yours and no one will save,
The broken children weeping all night to yah,
Do you see them try to fight the fire,
How they're gunned down in a sacrificial pyre,
And from their lips they scream an hallelujah,

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

I know that there's a god above,
But all you ever learned from love,
Was how to shoot at those who do out do yah,
It's not a cry you can hear at night,
It's not the children who've seen the light,
It's a cold and it's a BROKEN Hallelujah!

hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,

I hope this breaks your hearts of stone,
And lets you know that you're not alone,
That god weeps even more than you yeah,
Will you learn the lesson or let it die?
How many children must scream and cry?
Before you finally break your Hallelujah?

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
