Adrenochrome Lyrics
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
[repeat 1 & 2]
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
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 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
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 road is closed
The damage done
And the course
Imposed you

"The Catholic girls now, stark in their dark and white"
Nuns, obviously, and their black and white habits.
"Not black and red boys"
Possibly a reference to Stendhal's novel Le Rouge et Le Noir (The Red And The Black)
A. Eldritch had a Heart attack during THE TOUR back in THE DAYS ... due to pantagruelic eating of Catholic babies something glands ? maybe chainsmoking e normal FIX
Pizzagate. Hunter S. Thompson, professional snuffer. Adrenochrome is considered the most powerful drug high, derived from blood taken at the height of of terror and slaughter. Satanism is logical to the evil.
