Hozier - Moment's Silence (Common Tongue) lyrics

When stunted hand earns place with
Man by mere monstrosity
Alarms are struck and shore is
Shook by sheer atrocity
A cure I know that soothes the soul
Does so impossibly
A moment's silence when my baby
Puts the mouth on

Me and my babe relax and
Catch the manic rhapsody all reason flown
As God looks on in abject apathy a squall
And all of me is a prayer in perfect piety
A moment's silence when my baby
Puts the mouth on me

When the meaning is gone there is clarity
And the reason comes on the common
Tongue of your loving me

And it's easy done our little remedy
And the reason comes on the common
Tongue of your loving me

What yields the need for those who
Lead us oh so morally
Those that would view the same
We do through their deformity
Who view the deed as power's creed
As pure authority
This moment's silence when my baby
Puts the mouth on me

Since it all begun to it's reckoning
There the reason comes on the common
Tongue of your loving me

Be thankful some know it lovingly
There the reason comes in the common
Tongue of your loving me

Like a heathen clung to the homily
Let the reason come on the common
Tongue of your loving me
So summon on the pearl rosary
Let the reason come on the common
Tongue of your loving me
