My parrot just turned into a raven.

That bass line is fire

I'm 54 and still love the Sisters. My daughter now loves them and I've given her all my Sisters vinyl from the 80's. Passing on the torch.

"I . DON'T. FEEL". I praise the younger generations that appreciate our goth/industrial/ new wave. Oh to be a kid in the 80's again.

The song that gets your 80 year old goth grandmother to break her hip on the dance floor.

They hated their goth tag, but sounded more goth than many of the goth bands of that era. This song is pure class.

Wow... My dad really had a great taste in music

I hear the roar of a big machine Two worlds and in between Hot metal and methedrine I hear empire down I hear empire down I hear the roar of a big machine Two worlds and in between Love lost, fire at will Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill I hear dive bombers and Empire down Empire down I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed Get down, get undressed Get pretty but you and me We got the kingdom, we got the key We got the empire, now as then We don't doubt, we don't take direction Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me We look hard We look through We look hard to see for real Such things I hear, they don't make sense I don't see much evidence I don't feel I don't feel But I don't feel A long train held up by page on page A hard reign held up by rage Once a railroad Now it's done I hear the roar of a big machine Two worlds and in between Hot metal and methedrine I hear empire down We got the empire, now as then We don't doubt, we don't take reflection Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me. 🌌🌌🌌🌄🌄🌄🌄👏👏👏👏👏

The gothiest goth that ever gothed.

Oh man that bassline. It's not difficult but it's soooooo good. Been playing that riff on my bass the whole evening. Can't get if out of my head. Awesome song!

aged 58 and still crazy for this song and the sisters

My name is Lucrezia (Italian version) and I’m so proud that they made a song with my name in it😍

The notes if you are ever trying to make this song in Animal Crossing: A C C C F E- DDDDD FE-A

With old gothic rock bands we can hear the bass, it's not muffled in the background drowned by guitar, it has an importance. Besides nostalgia it's what keeps me forever in the 80's music.

Mid to late 80s was such a good time for music and being a teenager! Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie and the banshees, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Echo and the Bunnymen, New Order/the division, the smiths, Sinead O’Connor.I could go on and on❤

Im a starter goth, i herd this song was everything so I came in here and oh my god this is just amazing. I’ma new fan of sisters of mercy no doubt.

That bassline deserves a grammy

The fact that 240p is the best quality makes it even more epic

Patricia Morrison is just the most beautiful other worldly creation..

Who is there in 2024?????

So they recently opened a pretty nice skating rink in my city here in Costa Rica and the dj was playing some 80s music and I had a USB flash drive inside my pocket with this song. Went up to him and told him if he would play this song. Cool guy agreed ( Sisters of Mercy were never really popular down here) and the whole skating rink ended up dancing and skating with this kick ass song. What a kick ass night !

I TOLD MY KIDS TO PLAY THIS AT MY FUNERAL AND SEE IF I DON'T SIT UP TO IT. 🤟🤟

I have said it before and I will say it again, I am so very thankful for having grown up in the 80s. What a time.

I saw them in Manchester recently and it was one of the Best concerts I have ever been you. They played this right at the end of the set and the crowd was going completely MAD at the time. 😂😂😂😂😂

Music was so dark and cool in the late 80s. I miss the dark clubs back then so much! You could go out and totally lose yourself.

Goths to the dance floor, all Goths to the dance floor please.

First time listener and damn that Bass guitar is shining through 🎸

Who's here in 2024?

Sisters of Mercy, keeping factories sexy since 1988

The song that gets all the Goths on the dancefloor, including the 70 year olds

I am familiar with this song from my youth. Listening to it at almost 50 years of age, it makes me realize how much music today is garbage. The composition, bass line and lyrics of this song are hypnotic.

First time hearing this and bloody hell where have I been, it’s brilliant

I'm 33 years old and I've never listened The Sisters of Mercy until tonight. Man, this is good!

My buddy had a Sisters of Mercy poster on his bedroom wall in the late 80s. He swore that Patricia Morrison's eyes followed him when he was in the room. I believe it.

This playing full blast going fast around corners while on a motorbike is an unreal experience ❤

2022 and still a brilliant song 🖤

Sisters of Mercy, The Mission, Fields of the Nephilim, London After Midnigth, Bauhaus!!! The best Music of the history...

this song is so industrial it's in a factory

The energy and darkness in the goth masterpiece is simply mind blowing

Perfect sound!! Sister, Bauhaus, The Cult, New Model Army, always among my favorites!!

All Goths please stand up for your national anthem Edit:Why the hell are you still liking and commenting on this sh**?

I loved this song when I was 20 years old. I am 47 now and I still love it.

I went to their concert in 90 at the Wembley arena. I was so off my face, I can't hardly remember it....🤩

No amount of iphone technology could ever replace watching these music videos as a kid on mtv Back in the day. Great times

I just love this band. Helps my depression and anxiety.

According to Roman tradition, Lucretia, anglicized as Lucrece, was a noblewoman in ancient Rome, whose rape by Sextus Tarquinius and subsequent suicide precipitated a rebellion that overthrew the Roman monarchy and led to the transition of Roman government from a kingdom to a republic

One of my favourite sisters songs, I used to love playing this live, with my band, way back in day...rock on Sister fans

I can't believe they hated their goth title. They were literally one of the bands that invented goth. Takes me wayyyy back.

What an iconic sound. One of those songs that makes you wish you could somehow unhear it and then instead hear it for the first time on the night you rise as a vampire. I feel so lucky to have been born at the start of the 70's so I could live through this era right when I was creating myself by my own will.

that bass line is a beast

I was 11 when this came out. My older brother got the album. I still stick it on to this day.

My goth friend is converting me, this song slaps

I was at a party at a night club in Washington DC last week when over the loudspeaker system came this song. . .in all its glory. Damn, was I ever happy.

It's hypnotic. The best '80s alternative is ageless.

They don't make music like this anymore and never will

Such a badass song. I can’t help but dance when it comes on.

I don't care what Eldrich says , this is the gothiest song Ever !!

I' m still there in 2024.This Is pure class.Sisters of mercy forever!!!!!

One of my favourite bands in the 1980's when I was a teenager. This is still soooo good now as when I first heard it in 1987.

This is what Gothic Rock means, fantastic atmosphere and deep voice. Yeah! I love this shit.

the days when there was alternative/goth clubs downtown with great dark deco and visuals ...with dark corners and big screens with experimental videos with me on acid and rockabillies playing pool and alternative godess dancing on this music and front 242 was a hell of a world apart from today ! ....we were a futuristic generation in a dark past that flew away too soon --- -- - ✈

Просто офигенная группа! Люблю ее! From Russia 🇷🇺 ❤Столько лет прошло, а музыка вне времени.

That lady is so hot and this song is so damn good. I was just a kid in the 80s and it all might as well have been an old dream I had once, but I can still feel the lingering glow of magic that the 80s had. Now it's gone forever and I miss it.

Some of the best goth rock you'll ever hear.

Patricia is absolutely beautiful.. Look at those eyes.. My oh my

The song and this video is mesmerizing. I'm on a spree of goth/postpunk iconic classics right now, this one, Killing Joke-the Wait and Peter Murphy (Bauhaus)-Cuts You Up. All three absolutely killer!🤘

I love this band! Dancing at goth clubs at 19 , know I am almost 50..still dancing to this today! I love this song 🎵 ❤️

I would never get tired listening to this song over and over again!

Even with my old age arthritis I feel like dancing to this ageless rockin' blast!

Why am I just discovering this in 2024?

This should be re-released to show the younger generation what brilliance they have missed

This is the meanest, toughest-as bassline ever laid down.

Who's listening to this in 2020 ? "Me" 😂

I have no idea why MTV didn't play this band's videos enough, even back when they DID play music videos. This rocks!

this song made me goth. i was kind of trying to get into goth music and i had listened to some the cure and siouxie and the banshees and i liked it but then i stumbled upon this song and it changed my lifeeeee. i became absolutely obsessed with it and the whole Floodlands album. It was the song that took me from casual fan to goth. No matter how many times I listen to it, it’s always fantastic.

I have to listen to this song at least three times back to back before I move on.

one of the best bass lines ever made

Será que existe mais brasileiros, que apreciam boa música como essa?

Cyberpunk's habit of naming quests after music is great, especially when so much of it fits the game. New Wave goes with 2077 like butter on toast.

Everything about this song is perfect.

The fastest 4 minutes in music set to coolest lyrics ever: I hear the roar of a big machine Two worlds and in between Hot metal and methedrine I hear empire down, I hear empire down I hear the roar of a big machine Two worlds and in between Love lost, fire at will Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill I hear a dive, bombers, and Empire down, empire down I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed Get it down, get undressed Get pretty, but you and me We got the kingdom, we got the key We got the empire, now as then We don't doubt, we don't take direction Lucretia, my reflection Dance the ghost with me

I was 15 when this came out in 85. Still love it at 52 2/11/2023

listening in 1987 is soo cool! Anyone else?

I'm almost 40 and I just heard this song for the first time. Very sad/happy about it 😂

It's amazing how many songs AHS: Hotel has resurrected for newer and older generations alike. The Cure, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, New Order, Sisters of Mercy, Bahaus, Souix and The Banshees, Peter Murphy, She Wants Revenge. Freaking sweet!!

I came across this song by accident (fate?) years ago while searching for Megadeth's ""Lucretia" on KZfaq. I had never heard anything like it before. I've been listening to Sisters of Mercy ever since.

Just love it. The rythm. The bass. The voice. All makes you wanna dance and fly away.....

The song that got all the goth's on the dancefloor. Including me and my family 😆

First time hearing this band .. they're good.

This song takes me back to Moving to the other side of the country with nothing but my backpack and clothes on my back. Its beautiful how music has the ability to take you back.

this piece is one of my favourites,a piece that hasnt worn out over the years!!!!

This reminds me of when I was 18....had such a thing for Sisters of Mercy in my babybat days

Still blasting this in 2017.

Merecen más reconocimiento La gente joven tiene que conocer la música de mi época:porque es para todas las edades y nunca desaparecerá porque está por encima de las modas.

This song gives me power in a powerless world. What a banger.

My daddy named me after this band!

I really wish Type O Negative would have done a cover of this!!! Peter Steele's vocals would've been a perfect fit.

Possibly one of the best music videos ever made.

Música gótica perfeita maravilhosa uma obra de arte ❤🛐

This was epic in 1987... And in 2018 is still epic
