the mission (live at the hammersmith odeon, london/1990) - queensrÿche lyrics

Loading...

[intro: preacher]
informing washington, a technical violation of the 1972 abm treaty
i’m asking for hands to be uplifted for just a moment
god the holy ghost is calling out to embrace you
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, you’re saying—

[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

[verse 2]
six days ago my life had taken a tumble
the orders came from high above, they say
a need to usе me once again, they’vе got my number
further the cause, boy, yes, you know the game

[chorus]
i’ll wait here for days longer
’til sister comes to wash my sins away
she is the lady that can ease my sorrow
brings the only friend that helps me find my way
[verse 3]
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]
i’m 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

[post*chorus]
(they’ll say)
my mission saved the world
and i stood proud
my mission changed the world
it turned my life around, turned around

[instrumental break]

[verse 4]
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 ain’t gonna find me
the walls will tell the story of my pain
[chorus]
waiting for days longer
’til sister comes to wash my sins away
she is the lady that can ease my sorrow
she sets the pace for my delivery of pain

[post*chorus]
(they’ll say)
my mission saved the world
i stood proud
my mission changed the world
the underground
we’ll rise and change this world
we’ll all stand proud
our mission changed the world, we’ll change the world
we’ll all stand proud
