Sacred | |||
Holy | |||
To put it in words | |||
To write it down | |||
That is walking on hallowed ground | |||
But it's my duty | |||
I'm a missionary | |||
So here is my confesion | |||
It's an obsession | |||
I'm a firm believer | |||
And a warm receiver | |||
And I've made my decision | |||
This is religion | |||
There's no doubt | |||
I'm one of the devout | |||
Trying to sell the story | |||
Of love's eternal glory | |||
Spreading the news around the world | |||
Taking the word to boys and girls | |||
I'm a firm believer | |||
And a warm receiver | |||
And I will go down on my knees | |||
When I see beauty | |||
There's no doubt | |||
I'm one of the devout | |||
Trying to sell the story | |||
Of love's eternal glory | |||
Sacred | |||
Holy | |||
To put it in words | |||
To write it down | |||
That is walking on hallowed ground | |||

Notes
Andy Fletcher told Képes 7 magazine (translated from Hungarian):
"Sacred is about love, about love as a creed."
When Depeche Mode was interviewed about the songs on the '101' CD for the April 1989 issue of French magazine 'Best', Alan Wilder said (translated from French):
"It was not one of the tracks that worked best on stage. We could have improved it by working on it in the studio, but we preferred to mixing the live version quickly due to wanting to mix one song a day. Our goal was that the live version matches exactly what was performed at the concert. Hearing the audience throughout the songs was done deliberately. We did not want a live album like that of the Simple Minds, for example, which has been almost entirely redone in the studio. The only sounds of atmosphere that they kept were a few applauses, and some shouts left at the beginnings and ends of the songs. That's not live, it's studio-live."

Sacred
Sacred
Holy
To put it in words
To write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
But it's my duty
I'm a missionary
So here is my confesion
It's an obsession
I'm a firm believer
And a warm receiver
And I've made my decision
This is religion
There's no doubt
I'm one of the devout
Trying to sell the story
Of love's eternal glory
Spreading the news around the world
Taking the word to boys and girls
I'm a firm believer
And a warm receiver
And I will go down on my knees
When I see beauty
There's no doubt
I'm one of the devout
Trying to sell the story
Of love's eternal glory
Sacred
Holy
To put it in words
To write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
