Sisters of Mercy

(the words in parenthesis are sung by a female background vocalist who has a

really great voice -- anyone have any clue who it is??)

Your faith is not faithful

Your grace has no grace

Your mercy shows no mercy

Is there nowhere out of this place?

There´s a baby crying softly

In a dark and dangerous place

She´s imprisoned by no language

Fear grips her tiny face

In God´s house, she´s held a hostage

By a cruel and heartless mob

There´s some rules they think God´s written

And it justifies their job

Sisters of Mercy (Sisters of Mercy)

Daughters of Hell (Daughters of Hell)

They always weave their web of lies

And wrap you in their wicked spell

Sister of Mercy (Sisters of Mercy)

Masters of Pain (Masters of Pain)

They try to crucify your innocence

And do it in God´s name

There´s a baby sobbin´ softly

In a crib that´s now a cage

She´s done nothing to deserve this

But it sanctifies their rage

They use God like he´s a weapon

Only for a chosen few

Then hide behind pious faces

Like the guilty always do.

Sister of Mercy (Sisters of Mercy)

Mothers of Shame (Mothers of Shame)

A baby only gets to heaven

If she´s baptized in His name

Sisters of Mercy (Sisters of Mercy)

Daughters of War (Daughters of War)

These chicks administer your penance

While the devil guards their door

Your faith is not faithful

Your grace has no grace

Your mercy shows no mercy

Is there no way out of this place?

There´s a baby who´s a warrior

Sometimes tears run down her face

As she wonders should she fight

Or simply banish from the race

She´s only learned one lesson

It´s fight comes before a fall

The comin' train waits for no man

But God waits for us all

Sister of Mercy (Sisters of Mercy)

Twisters of Truth (Twisters of Truth)

I can´t condemn you or forgive you

For your sins done in my youth

Sisters of Mercy (Sisters of Mercy)

Daughters of Cane (Daughters of Cane)

I see their wilted, fading powers

Rotting flowers, left like rags out in the rain

Sisters of Mercy

(Your faith is not faithful)

Daughters of War

(Your grace has no grace)

Your mercy shows no mercy

(Is there no way out of this place?)

Is there no way out of this place?

(Your faith is not faithful)

Your grace is no grace

(Your mercy) Shows no mercy

(Is there no way out of this place?)

Is there no way out of this place?

(Your faith is not faithful)

(Your grace has no grace)

(Your mercy shows no mercy)

(Is there no way out of this place?)
