Hozier - Moment's Silence (Common Tongue) with Lyrics

Live From Windmill Lane, Dublin, Oct 2018 From 'Nina Cried Power' EP (2018) Produced by Hozier & Markus Dravs Written by Andrew Hozier-Byrne 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
