Hozier
Hozier explores his feelings of alienation from his own culture through his love of a woman who doesn’t conform to society’s edicts. Similar to “Take Me to Church,” he mixes the sacred and the sexual in his worship of this woman who is like an ancient goddess.
Said Hozier in a track-by-track video...
[Verse 1]
She moved with shameless wonder
The perfect creature rarely seen
Since some liar brought the thunder
When the land was godless and free
Her eyes look sharp and steady
Into the empty parts of me
Still, my heart is heavy
With the hate of some other man's beliefs
[Pre-Chorus]
Always a well-dressed fraud
Who wouldn't spare the rod
Never for me
[Chorus]
Screamin' the name of a foreigner's God
Screamin' the name of a foreigner's God
Screamin' the name of a foreigner's God
The purest expression of grief
[Verse 2]
Wonderin' who I copy
Musterin' some tender charm
She feels no control of her body
She feels no safety in my arms
I've no language left to say it
But all I do is quake to her
Breakin' if I try conveying
The broken love I make to her
[Pre-Chorus]
All that I've been taught
And every word I've got
Is foreign to me
[Chorus]
Screamin' the name of a foreigner's God
Screamin' the name of a foreigner's God
Screamin' the name of a foreigner's God
The purest expression of grief
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Screamin' the name of a foreigner's God
Screamin' the name of a foreigner's God
Screamin' the name of a foreigner's God
The purest expression of grief
Screamin' the name of a foreigner's God
Screamin' the name of a foreigner's God
Screamin' the name of a foreigner's God
The purest expression of grief
