Take Me to Church, Wrong Side Of Heaven, Son of a Wolf
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 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 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, amen, amen!
[Chorus – x2:] 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.
[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, 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.
[Chorus – x2:] 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.
[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. Amen, amen, amen!
[Chorus – x2:] 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.
I spoke to god today, And she said that she's ashamed. What have I become, what have I done? I spoke to the devil today, And he swears he's not to blame. And I understood, cuz I feel the same.
Arms wide open, I stand alone. I'm no hero, and I'm not made of stone. Right or wrong, I can hardly tell. I'm on the wrong side of heaven, And the righteous side of hell. I'm on the wrong side of heaven, And the righteous side, Righteous side of hell.
I heard from god today, And she sounded just like me. What have I done, and who have I become. I saw the devil today, and he looked a lot like me. I looked away, I turned away!
Arms wide open, I stand alone. I'm no hero, and I'm not made of stone. Right or wrong, I can hardly tell. I'm on the wrong side of heaven, And the righteous side of hell. I'm on the wrong side of heaven, And the righteous side, The righteous side of hell.
I'm not defending, downward descending, Falling further and further away! I'm closer every day
I'm getting closer every day, To the end. The end, The end, the end, I'm getting closer every day
Arms wide open, I stand alone. I'm no hero, and I'm not made of stone. Right or wrong, I can hardly tell. I'm on the wrong side of heaven, And the righteous side of hell. I'm on the wrong side of heaven, And the righteous side of hell. I'm on the wrong side of heaven, And the righteous side, The righteous side of hell.
Tonight alone you're riding Onto the other side Your might untold and waiting Boy you'll be the final light Your mother fought the demons Your brother saw the light And now we pray the unborn You and I can't stay alive
Son of a wolf When the fight is calling Son of a wolf And the night has come Son of a wolf Can you hear me calling Haleluja
Take you another liar Then never do this sign When you are undertaken Boy you'll see the night ally Forever to the brave men When times were hard and wild You are the new messiah Born a wolf of human kind
Son of a wolf When the fight is calling Son of a wolf And the night has come Son of a wolf Can you hear me calling Haleluja Son of a wolf Can you see him dying Son of a wolf When the night is dark Son of a wolf Can you hear them calling Haleluja
Agnus dei in tempestis Ignarus et animus Sanctus iesu in tormentis Romulus in misera Agnus dei in tempestis Ignarus et animus Sanctus iesu in tormentis Romulus in misera
Son of a wolf When the fight is calling Son of a wolf When the night is dark Son of a wolf Can you hear me calling Haleluja Son of a wolf When the fight is calling Son of a wolf When the night is dark Son of a wolf Can you hear them calling Son of a wolf
