HOZIER lyrics : "Take Me To Church"

[Verse 1]
My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral

Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner
If the Heavens ever did speak

She is the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week

'We were born sick' you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'

The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick but I love it

Command me to be well
Amen. Amen. Amen


[Chorus](2x)
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God let me give you my life


[Verse 2](2x)
If I'm a pagan of the good times

My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice

To drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course

That's a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful

That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work


[Chorus]


[Bridge]
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean

Amen. Amen. Amen

[Chorus]
