'Lucretia' is a demo, the vocals seem little more than an amplified whisper.
First released in November 1987 on The Sisters of Mercy's second album Floodland where it was called 'Lucretia'.

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
