[Gunshot, television shatters.]
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
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
