really great voice -- anyone have any clue who it is??)

Your faith is not faithful
Your grace has no grace
Your mercy shows no mercy
Is there nowhere out of this place?

There´s a baby crying softly
In a dark and dangerous place
She´s imprisoned 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

Sister 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 sobbin´ 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.

Sister of Mercy (Sisters of Mercy)
Mothers of Shame (Mothers of Shame)
A baby only gets to heaven
If she´s baptized in His name

Sisters of Mercy (Sisters of Mercy)
Daughters of War (Daughters of War)
These 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 banish from the race

She´s only learned one lesson
It´s fight comes before a fall
The comin' train waits for no man
But God waits for us all

Sister 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 Cane (Daughters of Cane)
I see their wilted, fading powers
Rotting flowers, left like rags out in the rain

Sisters of Mercy
(Your faith is not faithful)
Daughters of War
(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 is 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?)
