Hozier – “Take Me to Church” MP3 LYRICS
Hozier’s sensational debut single, “Take Me to Church,” has achieved unparalleled success, reigning supreme at the top spot in 12 countries and receiving an impressive five-times platinum certification in the US. This mesmerizing track even earned a prestigious Grammy Award nomination for “Song of the Year” in 2015.
Interestingly, Hozier’s journey was far from easy when he initially recorded the song. However, it wasn’t until the release of the music video, a thought-provoking critique of Russia’s anti-LGBT+ policies, that “Take Me to Church” truly captured the world’s attention, albeit amidst some controversy.
In a revealing interview with New York Magazine in March 2014, Hozier candidly expressed the essence of the song, stating that it revolves around the themes of sex and humanity. He emphasized that it is not an attack on faith but rather a celebration of asserting one’s identity and reclaiming their humanity through the powerful act of love. Unsurprisingly, this message resonated with musicians worldwide, leading to remarkable covers and interpretations, including a captivating rendition on The Voice and a mesmerizing interpretive dance video featuring the incomparable Sergei Polunin, directed by the visionary David LaChapelle.

Take Me to Church Lyrics
[Produced by Hozier and Rob Kirwan]

[Verse 1]
My lover’s got humour
She’s the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody’s disapproval
They 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 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
[Pre-Chorus]
A-a-a-a-a-a-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
[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
