elise roth - hasten to church lyrics
[verse 1]
my mistress hath whimsy
she brings mirth out of misery
has all the court’s denunciation
yet to worship her i hasten
if ’twere true the heavens didst speak
then their prophetess is she
ev’re sabbath seeming more bleak
new plagues on us each week
we were born to sin, thou hast heardst it
mine church offers no indulgence
she bids me worship in her chambers
a sole heaven t’will admit me
wеre i alone with thee
i was born base, but ’twas my fatе
proclaim me to be pure
[pre+chorus]
a+a+a+amen, a+a+amen
a+amen, a+amen
[chorus]
hasten to church
i worship like a cur at thy shrine of deceit
to confess my sins, may my penance be fleet
unto me that sweetest death
mon dieu, fealty shall i swear
laudamus te
adoramus te, benedicimus te
glorificamus te, credo in te
quoniam tu solus sanctus
amen, misere mei
[verse 2]
’twere i a heathen in my own right
i, the east and she the sunlight
to stay aligned with mine saviour
she demands of me favour
parch the seven seas, a bauble to appease
bring us flesh for the main course
’tis a well+bred high horse
what lies in yonder stable?
lo, a horde of hungered faithful
yon looks savoury, yon looks plenty
’tis voracious work
[chorus]
hasten to church
i worship like a cur at thy shrine of deceit
to confess mine sins, may my penance be fleet
unto me that sweetest death
mon dieu, fealty shall i swear
laudamus te
adoramus te, benedicimus te
glorificamus te, credo in te
quoniam tu solus sanctus
amen, misere mei
[bridge]
no masters nor kings when the sacrament begins
there is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
in the madness and mire of that debased scene
only then am i mortal, only then am i clean
[chorus]
hasten to church
i worship like a cur at thy shrine of deceit (et in terra pax)
to confess mine sins, may my penance be fleet
unto me that sweetest death (hominibus bonae voluntatis)
mon dieu, fealty shall i swear
laudamus te
adoramus te, benedicimus te
glorificamus te, credo in te
quoniam tu solus sanctus
amen, misere mei
