The Mission (Live at The Hammersmith Odeon, London/1990) Queensrÿche

[Intro: Preacher]
Informing Washington, a technical violation of the 1972 ABM Treaty
I'm asking for hands to be uplifted for just a moment
God the Holy Ghost is calling out to embrace you
I want you to reach deep into your hearts and your pocketbooks
And take His hand
Some of you are in a state of rebellion right now, you're saying—

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Six days ago my life had taken a tumble
The orders came from high above, they say
A need to usе me once again, they'vе got my number
Further the cause, boy, yes, you know the game

[Chorus]
I'll wait here for days longer
'Til sister comes to wash my sins away
She is the lady that can ease my sorrow
Brings the only friend that helps me find my way
