CHER lyrics - Sisters Of Mercy

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 crying softly

In a dark and dangerous place

She's imprisones 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

Sisters 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 sobbing 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



Sisters of mercy[sisters of mercy]

Mothers of shame[mothers of shame]

A baby only gets to heaven

If she's baptised in his name

Sisters of mercy[sisters of mercy]

Daughters of war[Daughters of war]

This 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 vanish from this race



If she's only learned one lesson

It's pride comes before a fall

The karma train waits for no man

But God waits for us all



Sisters 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 Cain[Daughters of Cain]

I see their wilted faded powers rotting flowers

Left like rags out in the rain



Sisters of mercy[sisters of mercy]

Mothers of hell[mothers of hell]

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?

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?

Is there no way out of this place?



Your grace has no grace
