hozier - take me to church bm literacy 2025 lyrics

[verse 1]
my lover’s got humour
she’s the giggle at a funeral
knows everybody’s disapproval
i should’ve worshipped 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 absolutes
she tells me, “worship in the bedroom”
the only heavеn i’ll be sent to
is when i’m alonе with you
i was born sick, but i love it
command me to be well

[pre+chorus]
a, amen
amen, amen

[chorus]
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
oh, 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
oh, good god, let me give you my life
[verse 2]
if i’m a pagan of the good times
my lover’s the sunlight
to 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

[chorus]
take me to church
i’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
i’ll tell you my sins, so you can sharpen your knife
offer me my deathless death
oh, 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, so you can sharpen your knife
offer me my deathless death
oh, good god, let me give you my life

[bridge]
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
[pre+chorus]
oh, oh, amen
amen, amen
