Sister of Charity

great song love it

I really like this song because I learned that I had a great aunt that was a sister of charity (she died when I was 14). She still has this sort of impact on me. Any that don't know what a sister of charity is--its a nun thats in a sorta of convent but it more of a social group its hard to explain. I wonder if Jyrik knew a sister of charity...

this song means alott to me cus it lets me realise that by finding god (all thoe i dont believe in any) could let a person feel so good and totally turn his/her life around, and yet they dont even know the entire meaning of this faith. the lines that led me to believe this as what this song was about are

" A new day for a mission Another sunrise in your heart" - which lets me believe that he feels that when he wakes up he is ready to devote his life to this beinng that he believes in and feels as thoe he is waking up to the love (sunrise in your heart) of this allmighty.

"I've never seen the dawn like this before Tears on the night turn to diamonds on your eyes In the face of the world's ugliness Sister of charity Remains a mystery " - which i think means that since he started to believe in this allmighty being his out look in even the simplest things became so beautifull that it overwhelmed him and made him realise that everything is beautifull (as i might say death) in its own way.

Could this song be a tribute to Sisters of mercy?as like christina death is tribute to band christian death....

I think it's "Diamonds in your eyes" not "on your eyes". Other than that, this song is awesome to listen to.

Well, it obviously has references to Christianity...although I always felt it was more about losing God than finding God. The melody is dark... and the lyrics--the ones that express more joy--seem sarcastic, in a way. The "tears of the night turn to diamonds" represent to me how sadness overwhelms one when you feel God has left you, but then the cold apathy that comes when you begin to think that there might not even be a God. And how the "Sister of Charity remain[ed] a mystery"...the Sister of Charity never found her way into the life of the person who had lost God. Hell, it could even be about a Sister losing her faith, and wondering why she even became a nun in the fist place. Either way...I think that this song is about losing your faith in God.

the way i see it is a Sister of Charity ("social nun") just wakes up for a new day. she cries every night because she sees the pain and misery every day. she wishes she can take the pain and sin away from the world. wakes up to another dawn that is painfully different. i dont know about how she keeps her faith at all... "Sister of Charity remains a mystery". just to throw it out there, some cultures of "nuns" follow the Rule of Benedict. im guessing it's always going to be part of her life to follow the rules that St. Benedict wrote and she cannot do a thing about it (which is why she cries).

this is how i see it. correct me if im wrong.
