Foreigner's GodLyrics
She moves 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
Always a well dressed for
Who wouldn't spare the wrong
Never for me
Screaming the name
Of a foreigner's God
Screaming the name
Of a foreigner's God
Screaming the name
Of a foreigner's God
The purest expression of grief
Wondering who I'll copy
Muster in 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
All I do is crave to her
Breaking if I try to convey it
The broken love I make to her
All that I've been taught
And every word I've got
Is foreign to me
Screaming the name
Of a foreigner's God
Screaming the name
Of a foreigner's God
Screaming the name
Of a foreigner's God
The purest expression of grief
Screaming the name
Of a foreigner's God
Screaming the name
Of a foreigner's God
Screaming the name
Of a foreigner's God
The purest expression of grief
Screaming the name
Of a foreigner's God
Screaming the name
Of a foreigner's God
Screaming the name
Of a foreigner's God
The purest expression of grief

Foreigner's God?
Could Hozier's song, Foreigner's God be relating to desperately seeking out a one true God ? For centuries there have been so many divisions in the Church. Only God knows those who truly want to know Him. Being spiritually lost, & wanting to belong, maybe is a form of feeling grief. ????

To me, Tracy, that is a pretty awesome summation of where his mind was at. Idk about anybody else but sometimes when you are raised in a certain practice of religion, you are taught other religions are wrong on certain parts of their interpretations of God. This can cause a lot of mental, emotional, and even physical torment, wrenching your mind into a constant state of turmoil if you just cannot seem to conform to the (sometimes legalistic) expectations of the faith you were brought up in.
