Hozier - Take me to Church

프라하 호텔에 투숙중에 우연히 TV를 틀었는데, 아주 충격적으로 다가 온 작품이 있어 포스팅함.

현재 러시아에서 이슈가 되고 있는 반동성애자 운동에 반해서 만들었다고 하는데, 애절하기까지 한 두 남자의 사랑을

잘 표현한 듯. 영상과 노래가 참 잘 맞아떨어지는 듯 하고, Hozier의 음울한 음색이 참 매력적이다.

가사는 다음과 같음.

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's the last true mouth piece / Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week / We were born sick, you heard them say it / My church offers no absolution
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 (x3)

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 so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my 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 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 (x3)

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
