Letra de The Mission

[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

[Spoken] Bless me, Father, for I have sinned

You're saying that...

[Gunshot, television shatters.]

[Verse 1, spoken]
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

[Coro 1]
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

[Verso 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

[Coro 2]
My mission saved the world
And I stood proud
My mission changed the world
It turned my life around

[Verso 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

[Coro 3]
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

[Verso 3]
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
