[Goaheadandstaymad]

You can hear in his voice that this song has a deep meaning to him. It's where all the power comes out and makes him sound amazing.

[RERKVISION]

No autotune is the best tune.... amazing...

[linss]

the only sin here is the filter constantly going between normal and black&white

[axcellent]

Such a brilliant artist. I love that he's not gay yet an advocate of gender equality. I've so much respect and admiration for this young man.

[denicecarlagordon]

He's so gorgeous and talented:) 😍💗

[breannatyler]

I don't understand how I haven't gotten tired of his voice or even this song! Every time I listen to this there is always one more thing that makes this song so magnificently beautiful. Plus I love this cover of him singing it!

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

i fell in love with him at the moment he start singing

[katherinesmith]

Bloody beautiful. I love his songs anyway, but his acoustic versions are sublime - Every nuance of his voice is so clear on this rendition

[CyrusP.]

I've been listening to this song for 2 years and it's still my favorite <3

[fynworld]

He is playing in tuned down here (to sing lower and worry less), that might be why it sounds pretty different, and better

[herenomore]

The worst thing about this song is that it ends. I can never get bored of it.

[christinewinters]

This song is so deep yet people are saying its so not cool cause of the homosexuality. Please stop and hear the lyrics! This song semds shivers up my spine. Beautiful song and oh what a handsome man!

[joneshawallace]

I love the way he never loved a voice soo much 😍

[monicahope]

He has such a rich, round, warm, tone. And when he pushes that power comes out from his soul. Extraordinary.

[makyeebon]

True gifted artist. And not just this song, all of his work has a spiritual quality. Love it.

[allangow]

In my teens I followed Dylan, The Stones, Bowie, Dire Straights etc., etc. There have great artists from then till now, however I didn't think I would see a singer/ songwriter of this calibre in the 21st century.
Hozier is the real deal, a truly remarkable talent.

[bgmaa]

This is the best version in my eyes. You can really hear his voice here. It’s so clean and beautiful. I LOVE that he can’t reach that high note (deathless) and his voice cracks. It’s so vulnerable and frágil. It’s so real. Just him and his guitar. It touches your heart and makes you cry.

[rudyardkipling]

This ain’t even my style of music, but good music is good music. This is why people first pick up an instrument and hold it in their hands. It’s a masterpiece.

[madisondameron]

I love suttle voice cracks when artists sing. It makes it sound so real and raw. Its just different
