Queensryche - The Mission lyrics

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

Waiting for days longer

'til sister comes to wash my sins away

She is the lady that can ease my sorrow

My love for her

Will help me find my way

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
