Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She moved with shameless wonder
The perfect creature rarely seen
Since some liar brought the thunder
When the land was godless and free
[Verse 2]
Her eyes look sharp and steady
Into the empty parts of me
But still, my heart is heavy
With the hate of some other man's beliefs
[PreChorus]
Always a well-dressed fraud
Who wouldn't spare the rod
Never for me
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Wondering who I copy
Mustering some tender charm
She feels no control of her body
She feels no safety in my arms
[Verse 4]
I've no language left to say it
But all I do is quake to her
Breaking if I try convey it
The broken love I make to her
[PreChorus]
All that I've been taught
And every word I've got
Is foreign to me
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
