Take Me to Church Hozier My lover's got humor She's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval I should've worshiped her sooner If the Heavens ever did speak She is the last true mouthpiece Every Sunday's 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 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 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 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 To drain the whole sea Get something shiny Something meaty for the main course That's a fine looking high horse What you got in the stable? We've a lot of starving 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 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
Why is it that the best song written in a long time always manages to make me cry? Oh, yeah! Because it's true. It's so fucking honest that it hurts to hear.
Great song, I agree. But don't worry, he's not talking about THE church. It's the church created by him and his lover. probably under the covers. * wink *
Isnt that the whole point of an Interpretation? To express what YOU see based on past experiences/thought processes? its not really an interpretation if you are using logic and thought and actual facts to express your own thoughts about something.
+Oblivion He's trying to validate being homosexual it ruins such a good song, kind of how Wrecking ball was a beautiful song that was ruined with a horrible video.
Makes it even better God in the old testament was a menacing, brutal incarnation of vengeance, yet never was there a verse where he condemns homosexuality. Just human prejudice defended in the name of the Almighty.
