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?
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 and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy…
這首歌, 講述了聖經上2個故事
一個是描寫, 小時候用一顆石頭, 打敗大巨人, 長大為王的大衛王,
一天晚上, 在月光下看到一位美女在沐浴, 有國色天香, 傾國傾城之美色,
北方有佳人,絕世而獨立,
一顧傾人城,再顧傾人國。
寧不知傾城與傾國,佳人難再得。
他為之傾倒, 茶不思, 飯不想, 夜不能眠,
但這位美人, 是他手下, 一位戰功彪炳的大將之妻,
但大衛王迷上了, 不管三七 二十一, 把大將派往前線,
奪人之愛, 搶人之妻, 最後部屬大將, 戰死沙場,
大衛王也受到神的懲罰
另一個故事寫大力士曾参, 他的力量, 來自他的長髪,
這是神的特許, 也囑咐要保守秘密,
但曾参經不起美嬌娘, 老婆大人, 床邊細語, 一再懇求,
曾参把長髪秘密告訴了妻子, 而他的妻子又告訴他的敵人!
敵人趁曾参在睡夢中, 將他頭髮剪下,
囚禁大牢, 不見天日, 嚴刑拷打, 受盡羞辱,
後來曾参頭髮長出來, 再次請求神賜於力量, 神應許了,
在一次遊街示衆的機會, 用己身巨大的力量, 毁滅敵人, 自己也犧牲了!
