KOKIA - Hallelujah

LYRICS below

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?
Now it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew that Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, baby I've been here before
Ive seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Our love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well maybe there's a God above
But all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you
But it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not someone who's seen the light
it's a cold no! it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[KKbook]

This is so beautiful~ *cries*

But... if her mission is to spread the love of God then, uh, this isn't really the best song to do so ^^" I love it to death, though~

[timetotakeabath]

@KKbook well, her mission is to spread the message of Love, sometimes God ... I think this is a good song to spread that love for God you refer too.

[sayaakarua16]

It's too beautiful for words.

[timetotakeabath]

@sayaakarua16 oh, what a lovely commentary :)

[timetotakeabath]

She's taking English classes at the moment in Dublin, so her English will be improved for her next song in that language :) (Anyway, the pronunciation in this one was good enough for a japanese speaker... what future holds for us, I don't know...

[MsFushigiYuugi]

wow.... Kokiia did such an amazing job on this song. I got shivers.... and to think that english isn't even her launguage, it's just....wow :) <3

[leisititine1]

Nice!

[narusasuoooxxx]

It's nice, but I still wouldve prefer kate's version.

[fecalinferno]

@ex59neo53 yeah, but i'm not even sure that Cohen would argue that this is the definitive set of lyrics, one of those covers that overshadows the original.

[8MellieMaus8]

[jazzeh14]
