Lyrics:

In a sea of faces, in a sea of doubt
In this cruel place your voice above the maelstrom
In the wake of this ship of fools I'm falling further down
If you can see me, Marian, reach out and take me home.....

I hear you calling Marian
Across the water, across the wave
I hear you calling Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the
Grave...

Marian

Marian, there's a weight above me
And the pressure is all too strong
To breathe deep
Breathe long and hard
To take the water down and go to sleep
To sink still further
Beneath the fatal wave
Marian I think I'm drowning
This sea is killing me

I hear you calling Marian
Across the water, across the wave
I hear you calling Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the
Grave...

Was ich kann und was ich konnte
(What I can do and what I could do)
Weiss ich gar nicht mehr
(I just don't know anymore)
Gib mir wieder etwas schönes
(Give me something beautiful again)
Zieh mich aus dem Meer
(Drag me from the sea)
Ich höre dich rufen, Marian
(I hear you calling Marian)
Kannst du mich schreien hören
(Can you hear me calling?)
Ich bin hier allein
(I am here alone)
Ich höre dich rufen, Marian
(I hear you calling Marian)
Ohne deine hilfe verliere ich mich in diessem Ort
(Without your help I am lost in this place)

I hear you calling Marian
Across the water, across the wave
I hear you calling Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the
Grave...

Marian, Marian, Marian
Marian, Marian, Marian

The Sisters had evolved from being a very good band in 1983 to only two years later becoming a rock outfit for all of us to marvel at with their groovy ghoulie spooky psychedelic imagery and the tongue in cheek manner which it was all served up, while never failing to deliver compositions which were nothing short of shimmering jewels.

Tout simplement superbe...c'est vraiment un trés grand groupe !! Il hantera encore longtemps les limbes de la musique, merci à eux.

Whistle Test was the best music programme.....every week they had bands the radio refused to play. How good is this......possibly bettered by Alice & Temple of Love. The Sisters.....Goth Rock at its best. (Played this to my kids and they just don't get it.....a shame!)
