Violent 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 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 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 

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 

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

my opinion:
I tend to agree that violent lyrics make people more violent because, the song gives you a kind of energy and inlfuence, and altough you dont realize, sometimes you start being angry for no reason, yelling to people, but also there is people that dont have any reaction, and they just listen to the song because they like the rythm or the band.. or maybe just because for fashion. In conclusion i think that the lyrics do affect the person, and how it reacts, we should avoid listening to many violent song because at some point it can influence in our behavior or sense of humor. violent lyrics also help when we want to let out the anger and some negative feelings. But i dont think they should be banned, its to extreme.


this song talks about the violence in the religion, how some integrants of the religion sometimes doesn´t accept everybody, or reject you if you have different thoughts, that is a kind of psycological violence.
