Hozier - Take Me To Church lyrics

rate me

My lover's got humor

She's the giggle at a funeral

Cuz everybody's disapproval

I should worshiped her sooner

If the Heavens ever did speak

She is the last true mouth piece

Every Sunday's getting more bleak

A fresh poison each week

We were born sick

You heard them say it

My church offers no absolution

Tells me: Worship’s 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

Ehhhhhh

Ammmeenn

Ammmeeennnn

Ameeennnn

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

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

If I'm a pagan on the good times

My lover's on sunlight

keep the goddess on my side

She demands a sacrifice

Dream the whole sea

It’s all shiny

Something here 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 that deathless death

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

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

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

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
