Queensryche - Mission, The (Live)

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
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
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
