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 said
A need to use me
once again
they've got my number
Further the cause, boy
yes, you know the game
I 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
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
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
They'll say 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 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
that 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
-The Mission
