Leaving this comment here as a reminder. So that whenever someone likes it, I'll come back and listen to this masterpiece!!

[garethreesjournalism]

Truly one of the greatest songs of all time

[MartineBMusic]

I always feel like Hozier could easily fit in an episode of Game of Thrones

[kiggunducyrus]

The exact song and sound I wanna hear before the end of the world.... True masterpiece

[nancyloaz]

This version is so much better than the studio version!! I love it!

[fannycraddock]

Dec 2022 and still as powerful as ever!

[Harles]

One of the few able to sing without autotune. His voice is amazing.

[cyankilledmamacita]

3:24 his hair, his hand, his teeth. Everything about him is beautiful

[hannosteinborn]

Dude he actually sounds soo much better without autotune, this is an impressive talent

"That's a fine looking high horse" - one of my favourite ever lines!

[samwynn]

The guitar sounds so good in this version 😮😮😮

[NgocBich-ywwq]

I'm still in love with his voice, it's been so long and man, he's just something else.

[SarcasticxLiar]

Are you guys deaf? This is one of the best live vocals to date. 

[minorcadence]

How have I not ever seen this before?? Hozier's live voice is like liquid chocolate and this entire performance with the electric cello, smooth AF bass and the backing vocals... just orgasmic.

[nenechonlisboa]

He is so handsome and what a voice... although the lyrics are hard, I totally melt.

[jojoaldar]

Somebody better check this man's passport, cause he is outta this world. Amazing

Lyrics;
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 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
Aaay. Amen. Amen. Amen.

[Chorus 2x:]
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

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

[Chorus 2x:]
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
Ooh oh. Amen. Amen. Amen.

[Chorus 2x:]
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

Descobri essa música em 2015, desde então virei fã do Hozier. Achava uma pena ele ser tão pouco conhecido aqui no Brasil, que bom que aconteceu !!! Os álbuns dele são incríveis, ouçam !!!

[munnichakraborty]

This live performance sounds much good than the original music video. The vocals, the violin, the piano & obviously the drums make it sound glory.
