Hozier – Take Me To Church

Take Me To Church lyrics

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’s the last room of peace

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

A

Amen

Amen

Amen

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

And good god, let me give you my life

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

And good god, let me give you my life

If I’m a pagan of the good times

My lover’s the sunlight

Keep the goddess on my side

She demands a sacrifice

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

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 my deathless death

And good god, let me give you my life

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 my deathless death

And good god, let me give you my life

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

Oh, mm

Oh

Amen

Amen, amen

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

And good god, let me give you my life

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

And good god, let me give you my life.
