Queensrÿche — The Mission

Текст песни: The Mission

The Mission Lyrics[Intro]
[Television, spoken. Church bell rings throughout intro.]
Broadcaster: ...a technical violation of the 1972 ABM Treaty...

[Channel changes.]

Preacher: ...I'm asking for hands to be uplifted for just a moment. God the Holy Ghost is calling out to embrace you

[Pistol being loaded and cocked.]

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
Nikki: Bless me, Father, for I have sinned

Preacher: You're saying that...

[Gunshot, television shatters.]

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
I'll wait here for days longer
Till 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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 1]
Waiting for days longer
Till 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

[Chorus 2]
They'll say
My mission saved the world
And I stood proud
My mission changed the world
It turned my life around

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus 2]
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
