With a heart as black as raven
Eyes of fire, a burning flame
She offered up her soul for the taking
Said we'd never speak our names

You wanna walk a mile in my shoes
I'll tell you there's a long way to go
You wanna walk a mile in my shoes
Naked truth and thunder will roar

Take me to the church
Where I can find salvation and a miracle
Take me to the church
Of holy water now
Maybe we can sing hallelujah
Take me to the church
Where I can find salvation and a miracle
Take me to the church
Of holy water now
Maybe we can find our way home
Oh, take me to the church

For many nights under the moonlight
The candles burned, the passion raged
Showed me things beyond the darkness
Her spell was cast and still remains

You wanna walk a mile in my shoes
I'll tell you there's a long way to go
You wanna walk a mile in my shoes
Naked truth and thunder will roar

Take me to the church
Where I can find salvation and a miracle
Take me to the church
Of holy water now
Maybe we can sing hallelujah
Take me to the church
Where I can find salvation and a miracle
Take me to the church
Of holy water now
Maybe we can find our way home
Oh, take me to the church

The cross we bear when love turns tragic
All the signs we never read
Treat the tears as lasting treasures
And kiss the stranger in your bed

You wanna walk a mile in my shoes
I'll tell you there's a long way to go
You wanna walk a mile in my shoes
Naked truth and thunder will roar

Take me to the church
Where I can find salvation and a miracle
Take me to the church
Of holy water now
Maybe we can sing hallelujah
Take me to the church
Where I can find salvation and a miracle
Take me to the church
Of holy water now
Maybe we can find our way home
Take me to the church
