The Mission - Queensrÿche

I want you to reach deep into your hearts and your pocketbooks, and take his

hand

Some of you are in a state of rebellion right now

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned

You’re saying that…

In the wooden chair beside my window

I wear a face born in the falling rain

I talk to shadows from a lonely candle

Recite the phrases from the wall, I can’t explain

This Holy pain

Six days ago, my life had taken a tumble

The orders came from high above, they say

A need to use me once again, they’ve got my number

Further the cause, boy, yes you know the game

I’ll wait here for days longer

'till the sister comes to wash my sins away

She is the lady that can ease my sorrow

She brings the only friend

That helps me find my way

I search the past back to a time

When I was younger

A target for the new society

Picked to displace the leaders

Countering objectives

Of this new underground reality

My mission saved the world

And I stood proud

My mission changed the world

It turned my life around

I look around, my room is filled with candles

Each one a story, but they end the same

I’ll hide away in here, the law will never find me

The walls will tell the story of my pain

Waiting for days longer

'till sister comes to wash my sins away

She is the lady who can ease my sorrow

She sets the pace for my delivery of pain

They’ll say my mission saved the world

And I stood proud

My mission changed the world

The underground will rise and

Save this world we’ll all stand proud

Our mission changed the world, we’ll change the world

We’ll all stand proud
