Revellus (Ode to Sisters) Lyrics


In days of darkness

When days are cold

Then condescending

Our forgotten souls

Then through the daylight

I talk to you

To my sisters of mercy

It's true

Blackened sky above the wire

City hums like funeral fire

Streetlight saints with vacant eyes

Selling hope in thin disguise

Every promise made of rust

Every prayer reduced to dust

I don’t kneel, I don’t confess

I wear the mark, I wear the mess

Hands are clean, the soul is not

Every truth we overwrought

Revelus

Revelus

I don’t kneel, I don’t confess

I wear the mark, I wear the mess

Every promise made of rust

Every prayer reduced to dust

I don’t kneel, I don’t confess

I wear the mark, I wear the mess

I don’t kneel, I don’t confess

I wear the mark, I wear the mess

So save me
