Take Me to Church - Hozier (lyrics) My lover\u0027s got humour She\u0027s the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody\u0027s disapproval I should\u0027ve worshipped her sooner If the heavens ever did speak She\u0027s the last true mouthpiece Every Sunday\u0027s getting more bleak A fresh poison each week \u0022We were born sick,\u0022 you heard them say it My church offers no absolutes She tells me, \u0022Worship in the bedroom\u0022 The only heaven I\u0027ll be sent to Is when I\u0027m alone with you I was born sick But I love it Command me to be well Aaay. Amen. Amen. Amen Take me to church I\u0027ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I\u0027ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I\u0027ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I\u0027ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life If I\u0027m a pagan of the good times My lover\u0027s the sunlight To keep the Goddess on my side She demands a sacrifice Drain the whole sea Get something shiny Something meaty for the main course That\u0027s a fine-looking high horse What you got in the stable? We\u0027ve a lot of starving faithful That looks tasty That looks plenty This is hungry work Take me to church I\u0027ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I\u0027ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Offer me my deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I\u0027ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I\u0027ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Offer me my 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 Ooh oh. Amen. Amen. Amen Take me to church I\u0027ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I\u0027ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I\u0027ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I\u0027ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life
