So Ive have had many folks ask me if I have heard the new song Take me to church by Hozier? I knew the chorus, but had no clue about the other lyrics. Im not looking to get into a Secular vs. Christian lyric debate here. Im sure there are other songs I listen to that may have questionable lyrics, BUT this one has believers singing out loud and its like... WOW... Be careful yall... Take Me To Church My lovers got humour Shes the giggle at a funeral Knows everybodys disapproval I shouldve worshipped her sooner If the heavens ever did speak Shes the last true mouthpiece Every Sundays 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 Ill be sent to Is when Im alone with you— I was born sick, But I love it Command me to be well Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. [Chorus 2x:] Take me to church Ill worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies Ill tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life If Im a pagan of the good times My lovers 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 Thats a fine looking high horse What you got in the stable? Weve a lot of starving faithful That looks tasty That looks plenty This is hungry work [Chorus 2x:] Take me to church Ill worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies Ill 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 Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. [Chorus 2x:] Take me to church Ill worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies Ill tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life
