The First Chapter was published in USA some months later with a different cover and as The Mission UK for legal reasons.

The night draws near and daylight fades
Ignore the voices discard the day

Temple of Love (extended) [HQ] Sisters of Mercy

Well, there have been better plans
But none that I could ever understand
Emerald signal, the green on black
The lights say, "Move," say, "Never look back"
And so I find a place where I've never been seen
Find another place where the red turns green
Where the emerald glistens through the darkness again
Where the emerald glistens through the rain
The Lights - #SistersOfMercy
