Adrenochrome - The Sisters of Mercy

We’ll turn away in a passive decision

We’ll take the steps through the unmarked door

A look back for another collision

But the boys of the spires

Are boys no more

Not black and red boys

Frightened by the night

By the catholic monochrome

The catholic girls now

Stark in their dark and white

Dread in monochrome

The sisters of mercy

High tide

Wide eyed

Sped on adrenochrome

For the sisters of mercy

Filled with

Panic in their eyes

Rise

Dead on adrenochrome

We had the power

We had the space

We had a sense of time and place

We knew the words

We knew the score

We knew what we were fighting for

For the freedom

The time to choose

But time to think

Is time to lose

The signals clash

And disappear

The shade too loud

And the sound unclear

For the

High tide

Wide eyed

Dread in monochrome

Denied in spite

Disliked in monochrome

Panic in their eyes

Rise

Dead and monochrome

The sisters of mercy

Spite

On adrenochrome

The way is clear

The road is closed

The damage done

And the course

Imposed you
