Shrek Soundtrack 10. Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah

I do not own any copyright on this song

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

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

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,
she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

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

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
Remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
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

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

@TheAGKMisadventures Awesome! I'm not the only one that thinks so! 

[edward6242]

This is one is my favorite song out of the whole soundtrack

[PegasoltaEclair]

A bad joke then...considering that I agree with many who think that Shrek is an amazing tetralogy, like Wagner's Ring-cycle.

[BlackPhoenix00280]

@PegasoltaEclair I think I would know what it was and wasn't meant to be, considering I wrote the thing.

[PegasoltaEclair]

No, it wasn't...?

[BlackPhoenix00280]

@PegasoltaEclair Apparently, the explanation must be extended further. The original comment was meant as a JOKE.

[PegasoltaEclair]

Just don't deny their existence if they do exist. You may not like them - that's your opinion.

[BlackPhoenix00280]

@PegasoltaEclair It doesn't seem like a difficult thing to understand:

I have seen Shrek 1, I liked it.

I have also seen the sequels. I did not like them. Sequels often are not any good in comparison with original, in my opinion.

Thus, I pretend- in my own little head-world- that they do not exist.

Comprende?

[PegasoltaEclair]

You make no sense IMO.
