Marionette Strings | Phoenix Rebirth

where credit is due

In the United States, the album was certified Gold a year after its release, and certified Platinum in 1991. The band shot a one-off promotional video in 1988 for the song "Speak" using performance footage. It did not include a dramatization of any of the story's concepts.

The song "I Don't Believe in Love" was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1990 in the category "Best Metal Performance".

During the tour promoting the 1990 album Empire, Operation: Mindcrime was performed in its entirety. The stage show featured video, animation and guest singer Pamela Moore as Sister Mary. A recording was released as Operation: Livecrime. The story was initially explored in a series of video clips for MTV in the 1989 VHS video, Video: Mindcrime.

In 2006, Operation: Mindcrime was re-released as a deluxe box set, containing the 2003 remaster, a live CD with the album played in its entirety at the Hammersmith Odeon on 15 November 1990, and a bonus DVD containing the 1989 Video: Mindcrime and bonus clips.

Now, when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks, the night is so black that the darkness cooks – don't you come creepin' around, makin' me do things I don't want to. Can't believe that you need my love so bad. Come sneakin' around, tryin' to drive me mad. Bustin' in on my dreams, making me see things I don't wanna see. 'Cause you're the green manalishi with the two prong crown. All my tryin' is up – all your bringin' is down. Just taking my love then slippin' away, leavin' me here just tryin' to keep from following you.[break][break]
