[Songtext zu „Hallelujah“]

[Strophe 1]
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?

[Pre-Refrain]
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor falls, the major lifts
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

[Refrain]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Strophe 2]
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her

[Pre-Refrain]
And she tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
[Refrain]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Strophe 3]
Well, maybe there's a God above
As for me all I've ever learned from love
Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

[Pre-Refrain]
But it's not a crime that you're hear tonight
It's not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the Light
No, it's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah

[Refrain]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
