Hallelujah Song found on the Shreck Soundrack

I 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
Hallelu----jah

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
Hallelu----jah

Maybe I have been here before, I know this room; I have 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 its a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah

There was a time you let me know whats really 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

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah

Maybe there's a God above, and all I ever learned from love was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And its not a cry you can hear at night, its not somebody who's seen the light, its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu--jah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu---u---jah


Your faith was strong but you needed proof....
first few lines talking about David and how he fell for a woman who belonged to another man. He was King of Israel and he got her husband put on the front lines in a battle. He died and so he got the woman he wanted. But God sent Nathan, a prophet of Lord and Nathan came before David and pointed out his sin. David's fall.

She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne, she cut your hair, and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah...
this I believe is referring to Samson. Samson's parents could not have a child. Yet his mother was very committed to God and prayed for years, saying that if she had a son, she would give him to the Lord, for his bidding. She was granted a child, but the deal was that, to show his devotion to the Lord Samson was to never cut his hair, and he would be strong. Now Samson became very very very strong. Wrestling with lions for fun..kind of guy. Anyways he had enemies, and they wanted to know his source of power. Samson at the time was seeing a woman named Delilah. Deliliah tried all sorts ways, conniving ways I would say to find out how Samson was strong. If i were Samson I would have ditched her. But I'm not...and I dont know Delilah, maybe despite all the conniving, the two really liked each other. Anyways, she eventually found out that if she cut his hair he would be powerless. She did so while he was sleeping and his enemies then came in and arrested him basically and then gouged his eyes. He was then chained to two pillars at this place where his enemies were celebrating and partying. You know what his last request was? Was that God would give him his strengh back so that he could avenge the philistines (his enemies, Delilah herself was a philistine prostitute) for his gouged eyes. No account of repentance in words..but strangely enough God granted it, maybe Samson recognized his weakness and just wanted to sacrifice himself in repentance. Because thats what he did with his strength. He pulled on those two pillars, thus killing himself and his enemies.

I've seen your flag on the marble arch, love is not a victory march, it's a cold and its a broken Hallelujah
some would agree..some would disagree

Next verse is a bit explicit...

Maybe there's a God above, and all I ever learned from love was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And its not a cry you can hear at night, its not somebody who's seen the light, its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah
this part is funny and ironic...because "Hallelujah" basically means..praise be to Jehovah..praise be to God.

Basically the song talks about how we go through crap..yet praise be to God.
