Ozymandias

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Ok, i've only been a sisters fan for a couple of years now, so i never knew anything about this song before i heard it. But i really liked it, i thought it had a cool sound but wished there were proper lyrics instead of it all being reversed. I put it through soundforge to see what the lyrics were, and imagine my suprise when i find that it is just dominion backwards! it sounds very different though!

You can have more Soundforge fun with Untitled (speed it up), Burn (reverse it) and Vision Thing Canadian Club Mix (reverse near the end).

If anyone can work out all the lyrics to the backwards bit of Burn I'd be grateful!

They're getting better every day, yeh.

Some of the backwards bits are:

"In the fire in the reptile house
in the colour and the carnage fall me down
my face in the fire in the reptile house
and the kissing and the colour come crashing down"

Woooo!!!!

Scary backwards lyrics in a Sisters song!!!
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Yeah, I got the chorus bit ok, it's the verse just before it that's annoying me.

After we complete the ring of fire,
We will burn this circus down,
The wheel goes round and the flames get higher
Round the juggling men and the idiot clown

Ah, so it's similar to the lyrics from the Burn It Down demo.

Thanks Gary.

I still think 'In Fact, I Mean Logic' is funny.
