The bodies on the naked on the low damp ground
In the violet hour to the violent sound
And the darkness the blinding the eyes that shine
And the voices and the singing and the line on line
This is the floorshow the clapping hands
Animal flow from the animal glands
In the violet hour to the violent sound
Going round and around and around and around and around
I feel the bite I feel the beat I see the dancing feet
I feel the light I feel the heat I see the new elite
I see the final floorshow I see the western dream
I see the faces glow and I see the bodies steam
See them shimmy see them go
See their painted faces glow
Slow slow quick quick slow
See those pagans go go go go go
This is the floorshow the last ideal
Its populist got mass appeal
The old religion redefined
For the facile futile totally blind
Mundane by day inane at night
Pagan playing in the flashing light
In the violet hour to the violent sound
Going round and around and around and around and around
And the bodies naked on the low damp ground
In the violet hour to the violet sound
And the darkness the blinding the eyes that shine
And the voices singing line on line
See them shimmy see them go
See their painted faces glow
Slow slow quick quick slow
See those pagans go go go go go
The Sisters of Mercy sono un gruppo musicale britannico di genere gothic rock, emersi dalla scena post-punk alla fine degli anni '70. Fondati a Leeds nel 1980 da Andrew Eldritch (voce), il gruppo ha subito diverse formazioni nel corso della sua storia, con Paul Hession (chitarra) e Wayne Hussey (chitarra) tra i membri più longevi. Il loro sound, caratterizzato da atmosfere cupe, melodie sinistre e testi introspettivi, li ha rapidamente catapultati nell'underground goth britannico. A metà degli anni '80, The Sisters of Mercy hanno raggiunto un successo commerciale significativo con album come *First and Last and Always* (1985) e *Vision Thing* (1987), che hanno introdotto il loro sound a un pubblico più ampio. Brani come «Temple of Love», «This Corrosion» e «Lucretia My Reflection» sono diventati classici del genere gothic rock. Dopo una serie di contrasti con la casa discografica, il gruppo ha cessato le pubblicazioni nel 1990. Sebbene abbiano avuto periodi di inattività, The Sisters of Mercy sono tornati a esibirsi dal vivo negli anni '90 e hanno continuato a registrare musica sporadicamente. Il loro ultimo album in studio è *Floodland* (1987).
