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
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
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
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

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

    It was just okay.

  38. V.... A....

    What is he doing on America's Got Talent? hahaha he is a professional singer

  39. j.... ....

    This was good, but The Meladores from The Sing-Off KILLED this song!

    j.... ....

    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

    j.... ....

    @AGT TheLegend I was speaking solely in terms of covers. Of course Hozier's version is the best. 😆

  40. G.... P....

    If he doesn’t learn to open his mouth more he will sound little nasal

  41. M.... K....

    Rag'n'Bone Man killing it woah🙄

  42. J.... H....

    Effortless!

  43. I.... S....

    The man rocks the man bun.

  44. M.... P....

    Chris your eyes are so mesmerizing!

  45. S.... B....

    He has the best eyelashes!!!😍😍

  46. B.... F....

    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

  47. D.... M....

    Fuck! This guy is blessed.

  48. F.... m....

    I LOVE THIS GUY!! I feel like I have to take Swedish lessons now:))

  49. D.... L....

    Stop acting like these people came from nothing when he was already a recording artist

  50. G.... B....

    Because of AGT 🙌

  51. B.... M....

    I'll have what Chris had for breakfast.....💜✌👏🖒

  52. K.... E....

    You captured my heart on AGT! Such a sweet humble man with incredible talent. I’ll definitely buy your records!!

  53. N.... K....

  60. D.... L....

    Such a great singer!! Heartfelt all the way!!! 💕🌷💕🌷💕

  61. S.... H....

    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

    S.... H....

    America has no clue about small Swedish artists. Trust me, i am a swede

    S.... H....

    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!

  62. R.... d....

    Damn!!! This guy is good 🥺

  63. H.... Z....

    who 's the 3rd judge on the panel?

    H.... Z....

    From wich side? Ok - from left Nikki Amini - from right Alexander Kronlund (the nails :D

  64. s.... ....

    That AMEN though. Wowza 🙌🏼

  65. J.... K....

    At the end it was like they'd all had a stroke!

    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!

  94. M.... M....

    Haha, the judge trying to hush the audience, and they instead increase their acts of tributes!

  95. S.... D....

    Wish I could understand what the judges are saying!

    S.... D....

    First one repeating: "World class, world class..."

    S.... D....

    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.
