Take Me to Church {Musical Mondays & Giveaway}

What is Musical Mondays?

Musical Mondays is a weekly linky party where we share a song we're into for the week, and talk about why we like it-or why it effects us. Along with talking about music, I host a (usually) month-long music giveaway.

This week's song:

Take Me to Church

by Hozier

My lover's got humor, she's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval, should have worshiped her sooner
If the heavens ever did speak, she's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak, fresh poison each week
We were born sick, you heard them say it

My church offers no absolution, 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

(Repeat x2)
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'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

(Repeat x2)
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 earthly scene
Only then I am human, only then I am clean
Amen, amen, amen

(Repeat x2)
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've been listening to the Top 50 Alternative station on iTunes radio at work a lot lately and this song keeps coming up. It has such awesome sultry sound-and the video, while not what I expected, has such a powerful commentary on political and social issues.
