Kläfford, Chris - Take Me To Church Lyrics
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
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
"We were born sick", you heard them say it
Command me to be well
Amen, amen
Amen, amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
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
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
Amen

Hey man
He's so cool
I’m the 1 millionth veiw
Sounds just like Hozier. Crazy.
Hes a great singer but I want Kodi to win the money more than him but hes the best singer
Chris should sing this song just like this on AGT. Wow! What vocals!
Hes on agt
Superb voice and presentation I’ll be going along way to success
You are incredible and brilliant!
How is this guy not super famous! This guy is amazing
AMAZING Chris❣❣❣❣❣❣🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
Take me to church
Omg what a voice 🤩🤩
Ehhhh... he aight. I'm a music lover and when I hear great notes goosebumps rise out of my arms and I feel that warmth run down my spine.. but he just doesn't do that. RIP Chester bennington... no one can do it like u
Logan this.....this wasn’t a Linkin Park song.....
Yeah I know . But didnt give me vibes when he sung. And I love all music ...except rap. My RIP was not towards him or towards his music it was a tribute to Chester myself. I've heard way better all I'm saying
Without question the best cover of this song
He’s very talented and he’s awesome voice 👍🏼 he chose a great song. I absolutely love Hozier ♥️
Love Chris! I could listen to him daily! WAITING ON CD TO BE RELEASED IN USA!!!
There are 2 EPs already available on spotify, google music...
I'm predicting that he'll win agt 2019!!
This is Chris Klafford and he is amazing
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
He reminds me of Avi Kaplan but with more country and rock vibes rather than folk
120 haters who have no taste in music at all
It was just okay.
What is he doing on America's Got Talent? hahaha he is a professional singer
This was good, but The Meladores from The Sing-Off KILLED this song!
janesmith4h so did Hozier lmao, this guy is an amazing singer, and I haven’t heard the version from the people your talking about, but I don’t think the original can be beaten
@AGT TheLegend I was speaking solely in terms of covers. Of course Hozier's version is the best. 😆
If he doesn’t learn to open his mouth more he will sound little nasal
Rag'n'Bone Man killing it woah🙄
Effortless!
The man rocks the man bun.
Chris your eyes are so mesmerizing!
He has the best eyelashes!!!😍😍
I don’t want to sound disrespectful but I would love to have some sub-titles for us ignorant people who don’t know the Swedish language.....I would love to know what the judges say to Chris....sorry I’ve not known of him these past 2 years.......thank you for making him your NUMBER ONE
Fuck! This guy is blessed.
I LOVE THIS GUY!! I feel like I have to take Swedish lessons now:))
Stop acting like these people came from nothing when he was already a recording artist
Because of AGT 🙌
I'll have what Chris had for breakfast.....💜✌👏🖒
You captured my heart on AGT! Such a sweet humble man with incredible talent. I’ll definitely buy your records!!
Translation for none Swedish Speakers :You’ve gripped our Hearts ♥️ And there’s no better act than this. You’re one of a kind 🙌🏽
N Kim Thank you!
Thank u so much N Kim
Fantastiskt! Morgan James har också sjungit den, och hon är minst lika fantastisk som vår Chris.
Wow wow wow and wow x
This man can sing me to bed 😉
OMG his eyes and voice ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love it when the cover is better then the original!
Now that I found you I can't let you go.....
Such a great singer!! Heartfelt all the way!!! 💕🌷💕🌷💕
Does AGT go around the world and grab up the winners from other countries and act like they have no idea who they are?
Its becoming fake asf
America has no clue about small Swedish artists. Trust me, i am a swede
Also Sweden has 3% of the population of America so winning swedish idol is good but not enough. I'm happy he gets the chance to shine bright!
Damn!!! This guy is good 🥺
who 's the 3rd judge on the panel?
From wich side? Ok - from left Nikki Amini - from right Alexander Kronlund (the nails :D
That AMEN though. Wowza 🙌🏼
At the end it was like they'd all had a stroke!
Playback speed 1.25x
Lol, now i must try it ;-)
Hell yes!!!!
I love you
Fantastisk
He won Swedish idol, then he’ll win agt then billboards here we come
He's so natural with his performance and his stage presence . Could easily see him performing in front of 10x the audience
He sort of did. This was not the final. In the final they where in Stockholm Globe Arena...with around 10 000 in the audience.
He has been singing this song for many years. Been singing for a long time.
AGT brought me here
America's Got Talent brought me here
Killer! Yeah!
Those eyes 😍
Hope he sings This on AGT
I love him now!
I didnt know fat thor could sing
difficult song and he nailed it, nailed it!!
After all the time I have watched him---Americans have finally found him! Tack!
Peggy Jenkinson ❤️👍🏻
new fan from USA
Det var sa lidt. Jeg ved godt dansk og svensk er farskellig sprog. ... jeg taler ikke svensk. ...kun dansk
And we are thankful
first time I saw him, I cant believe Simon didnt pick him up, hes awesome
I like him more than Hozier. The accent is giving me butterflies 🤣whoa , sexy voice like Scorpions..oh boy ..
Dang- he got Cute!
Only one I have heard who can sing Hozier's song.
MsDungeness River Connie Talbot from BGT can !
Simon Morin does.
Dont bother with the closed captioning, it doesnt make any sense.
I just rolled around lmao trying it! "fish tumor"...."illiterate chicken" ! 😆
all aboard the hype train.. budget daughtry everyone
AGT brought me here
Camera shots got me really dizzy (X.x)
It’s from the broadcast center, they who choose the camera shots
I don't watch these talent shows but please tell me this guy won?!?!
How have I never heard of anything from him in the UK? He's amazing!!!
Nicola Nicola he won
He's now on agt
Nicola Nicola
Yes but he actually tried out 2 times before they let him in on the last spott the tird time.
As someone else wrote: It seems like Swedish Idol are bad when it comes to promoting. U should also check up a guy from swedish idol called Jay Smith:)
@Myrslokstok Actually....4 times.....he won the 4th.
😮 Best. Cover. Ever. !!!
i love it! very!!!!!
Am here because of AGt
Thor can actually sing 😳
Thanks AGT. I'm here because of you.. Such a wonderful voice..
THE JUDGES COMMENTARY(in english):
The first judge: I’m totally stunned, totally stunned. *Cheering and applause* I will keep it short. Once again you’re showing brilliance. I realized that I sat here with open mouth, almost waiting for fried sparrows to fly in, so fucking happy am I. This is world class, world class!
Second (the young woman): There’s isn’t much to say really. Powerful performance, really powerful. What was it that you said last week?
Third(man): Boiling, you were boiling. Here you are, my favorite tipped bastard. But for real, you know I’m bitching a little about that I really like this intimate Kläfford. You bellowed a bit, but I’ll stop, this was fucking good. You’re almost like furniture ”a little bit left, no no! A little right. Okay stop stop” I will stpp that now.
Fourth judge: This was a great hallelujah-moment. Like, Take me to church, you’re just ripping out my heart. There’s much - Oh wow!
Haha, the judge trying to hush the audience, and they instead increase their acts of tributes!
Wish I could understand what the judges are saying!
First one repeating: "World class, world class..."
I made a Quick translation. Exuse me if the grammar is a bit incorrect.
Judge 1 Anders -Oh lord my Jesus
Judge 1 Anders -Halelulja or what you say. I am stunned. I discovered Chris, I discovered my self havin my mouth open like... I cant answer, this does not work i cant speak.... Like this, i have to make it short then. I am totaly stunned. You are showing your geniality again. I sat with my mouth open like I was waiting for fried birds to fly in to it (Swedish saying, about getting satisfaction without having to do anything). That is how happy I am. This is wordclass, wordclass, wordclass and now i accidently spitted aswell.
Judge 2 Nikki -There is not much to say. Powerful performance Chris, really mighty. What did you say last week? (Asking Alexander) -He boiles.
Judge 3 Alexander -Hey you favoritegambled devil. For real, I am making it a Little hard, you know I like this Intimate Kläfford ok. You bawl a bit but thats also really good so I will stop. I am trying to fix with you like a piece of furniture. A bit to the left...stop, stop, a bit to the right... I will stop doing that. Good really good.
Judge 4 Kishti -This is, this is, this is, this is a big halelulja moment. Take me to church. You just rips out the heart. We have a lot of... wow.
