Adrenochrome

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 MercySpite on adrenochrome

The way is clear, the road is closed

The damage done and the course imposed you
