"The Mission" lyrics

Oh, I, I'm on a mission
To save the world tonight
Arousing no suspicion
Hidden from the light
It's up to me now
Alone among the sinners
But I won't suffer
Innocents to ashes

What kind of place is this
When shadows hide in daylight
And blackened rain is crashing down?
Eyes of emptiness, cries of hopelessness
Lies upon their lips
Alone I'll carry out my mission

I try to drown the voices
That plague my every stride
Whispering, shouting
Laughing all from inside

What kind of place is this
When shadows hide in daylight
And blackened rain is crashing down?
Eyes of emptiness, cries of hopelessness
Lies upon their lips
Alone I'll carry out my mission

A dark alley speaks without a sound
The way my heart beats I know I'm found
It's hard now to breathe, a silence so profound
With eyes wide I see I am unbound

What kind of place is this
When shadows hide in daylight
And blackened rain is crashing down?
Eyes of emptiness, cries of hopelessness
Lies upon their lips
My mission is in doubt

Now I'm on a new mission
To save what's left inside
Because I'm living
Doesn't mean that I'm alive
I walk in sunlight
No fear of what's ahead
But then a voice whispers
"The mission isn't dead"
