Lyrics

[00:37.00] In the wooden chair beside my window
[00:42.00] I wear a face born in the falling rain
[00:48.00] I talk to shadows from a lonely candle
[00:53.00] Recite the phrases from the wall
[00:56.00] I can't explain this Holy pain
[01:20.00] Six days ago my life had taken a tumble
[01:26.00] The orders came from high above they say
[01:30.00] A need to use me once again they've got my number
[01:35.00] Further the cause boy yes you know the game
[01:41.00] I'll wait here for days longer
[01:46.00] Till the sister comes to wash my sins away
[01:51.00] She is the lady that can ease my sorrow
[01:56.00] She brings the only friend That helps me find my way
[02:11.00] I search the past back to a time When I was younger
[02:15.00] A target for the new society
[02:21.00] Picked to displace the leaders countering objectives
[02:26.00] of this new underground reality
[02:30.00] Waiting for days longer till sister comes to wash my sins away
[02:42.00] She is the lady that can ease my sorrow
[02:48.00] My love for her Will help me find my way
[02:54.00] My mission saved the world
[03:01.00] And I stood proud
[03:05.00] My mission changed the world
[03:11.00] It turned my life around
[04:04.00] I look around my room is filled with candles
[04:09.00] Each one a story but they end the same
[04:14.00] I'll hide away in here the law will never find me
[04:18.00] The walls will tell the story of my pain
[04:23.00] Waiting for days longer
[04:28.00] Till sister comes to wash my sins away
[04:33.00] She is the lady who can ease my sorrow
[04:39.00] She sets the pace for my delivery of pain
[04:47.00] My mission saved the world
[04:52.00] And I stood proud
[04:57.00] My mission changed the world
[05:03.00] The underground will rise and save this world
[05:13.00] we'll all stand proud
[05:18.00] Our mission changed the world, we'll change the world
[05:23.00] We'll all stand proud
