The Mission
"Wasteland"


There's a crystal view
From my window
And I can see
Years to come

I live for the burn
And the sting of pleasure
I live for the sword,
The steel, and the gun

I can tear down the walls,
Storm the barricades
Run to the place
Where the frightened crawl

Desire lurks
Beyond good and evil
So dance on the graves
Where the hallowed fall

(Chorus)
Over this land
All over this wasteland
Over this land
All over this wasteland

You can touch,
But please keep your distance
You're innocent and pure
And with no shame

The spirit is willing,
And the flesh is great
Your teasing, you torment
With the pleasure of pain

(Chorus)

Heaven and Hell
I know them well
But I haven't yet
made my choice
I'm feeling dead
Cause I'm shouting loud
And no one can
Hear my voice

Walking the tightwire
Can't look down
Strung out high
Above you all

Fateful wind blows
Through this land
Howls my name
Heralds my fall

Over this land
All over this wasteland
Over this land
All over this wasteland
...
