Dedicated to Stewart and Saffron Hendry - An old school Sisters of Mercy sounding track.

This video features the song "Revellus (Ode to Sisters)" by Crowmaster, released in 2026. The song is described as having an old-school Sisters of Mercy sound (0:00-0:15) and is dedicated to Stewart and Saffron Hendry (0:00-0:15).

The lyrics paint a picture of darkness and cold days, with forgotten souls (0:16-0:32). The singer talks to their "sisters of mercy" (0:33-0:47). Themes of promises made of rust and prayers reduced to dust are prominent (1:05-1:18), along with a refusal to kneel or confess, instead choosing to "wear the mark" and "wear the mess" (1:22-1:27, 2:36, 3:20-3:24, 3:36-3:43). The song also includes lines about clean hands but an unclean soul (1:40-1:45) and ends with a plea to "save me" (3:56). The song contains repetitive lyrics that reinforce the themes of non-conformity and spiritual decay.

In days of darkness
When days are cold
Then condescending
Our forgotten souls
Then through the daylight
I talk to you
To my sisters of mercy
It's true

Blackened sky above the wire
City hums like funeral fire
Streetlight saints with vacant eyes
Selling hope in thin disguise
Every promise made of rust
Every prayer reduced to dust
I don’t kneel, I don’t confess
I wear the mark, I wear the mess

Hands are clean, the soul is not
Every truth we overwrought

Revelus
Revelus

I don’t kneel, I don’t confess
I wear the mark, I wear the mess

Every promise made of rust
Every prayer reduced to dust
I don’t kneel, I don’t confess
I wear the mark, I wear the mess

I don’t kneel, I don’t confess
I wear the mark, I wear the mess

So save me
