Holy, Holy Lyrics

Cover art for Holy, Holy lyrics by Wye Oak

okay, here's what i've got:

holy, holy, holy there is no other story holy, only, holy _____ seeking mastery (i really don't know what she's saying before "seeking mastery." i can't hear "kindly" or "blindly." for some reason, i tend to hear "it is not me seeking mastery," but it doesn't seem very logical.)

hold me, hold me, hold me would you like to know me a tongue without a mouth to feed and only seeking as i need

for the joys and secrets i have stored here i lie awaiting my reward clenching for the blessed final count (i'm uncertain what she's saying... but it sounds closer to the original interpretation by hopemusicguy to me)

no patience can contain this all human joy is precious and i alone should know this and everyone should notice

holy, holy, holy there is no other story _____ seeking mastery (see aforementioned) we will be who we want to be

for the joys and secrets i have stored here i lie awaiting my reward attention for the blessed final count the ties that hold your mind will not give out (again, i don't really know here, but it sounds sort of close...)
