La vidéo de Take Me to Church est réalisée par Brendan Canty et publiée le 25 septembre 2013. Tournée en noir et blanc, elle suit la relation de deux hommes homosexuels, et les réactions violentes à caractère homophobe qui s'ensuivent lorsque la communauté apprend de l'un des amants l'homosexualité du couple. Hozier n'apparaît pas dans la vidéo. À travers ce morceau, le chanteur souhaite défendre la cause homosexuelle et l'orientation sexuelle de chacun, en dénonçant le traitement de la communauté LGBT en Russie. Hozier déclare à propos de ce clip : « Cette chanson a toujours parlé de l'humanité dans ce qu'elle a de plus naturelle, et sur comment elle est constamment minée par les [organisations de] religieux et par ceux qui voudraient nous faire croire qu'ils agissent dans son intérêt. Ce qu'on a vu se développer en Russie n'est rien moins qu'un cauchemar, alors j'ai proposé d'amener ces thèmes dans l'histoire [de la chanson] et Brendan a aimé l'idée. » Le clip vidéo est considéré par le magazine New York comme l'un des quinze meilleurs de l'année 2014.

Hozier - Take Me To Church
Take Me To Church
My lover's got humour She's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval I should've worshipped 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 absolutes 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
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
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 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
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
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
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
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
