moment s silence

Hozier

When stunted hammers place, with men
my mere monstrosity
Alarms are struck, I'm sure as shit
by sheer atrocity
A cure I know that soothes the soul
the soul impossibly
A moment's silence
when my baby puts her mouth on
Me and my babe relaxin' catching manic rhapsody
All reason flown
as God looks on in abject apathy
A swollen Lord that measly a prayer
in perfect parody
A moment's silence
when my baby puts her mouth on me

When the meaning's gone, there is clarity
And the reason comes
in the common tongue of your lovin' me
And it's easy, darling, I need a remedy
And the reason comes
in the common tongue of your lovin' me

What yields the need for those
who lead us oh so morally
Those that would view the sin
we do through their deformity
Who view the deed as power's creed
is pure authority
This moment's silence
when my baby puts her mouth on me

Since it's all been gone, to its reckoning
Then the reason comes
in the common tongue of your lovin' me
Be thankful, Son, now we lovingly
Let the reason come
to the common tongue of your lovin' me

Like a heathen clung to the harmony
Let the reason come
to the common tongue of your lovin' me
It's a silent night upon the rosary
Let the reason come
in the common tongue of your lovin' me
