Hozier
got humour
She's the giggle
at a funeral
Knows everybody's
disapproval
I should've worshiped
her sooner
If the heavens
ever did speak
she's the last
true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's
gettin' more bleak
A fresh poison
each week
We were born sick
you heard them say it
My Church offers
no absolute
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, 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
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
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 somethin' shiny
Somethin' meaty for
the main course
That's a fine
lookin' high horse
What you got
in the stable
We've a lot of
starvin' 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
Oh, 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
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
