Lyrics
Mission 2000
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Pulled through you and drowning in your swirl
Circling unfolding in your will
I'm going to glide on the winds of your breathing
And alight on your guarded heart
I'm gonna tear all our temples down
I'm on a mission now
Smouldering down inside your mood
Slithering and fanning in your eyes
I'm going to drive through your crying and sleep in your hair
Rise from your ashes and kneel in your prayers
Tear all your temples down
I'm on a mission now
And I have nothing, but then the have is not as good as the want
I'm going to glide on the winds of your breathing
Writhe in your calm and provide your release
Weave into your wanting and needing
And reside in the heart of your strongest beliefs
I'm gonna teat all our temples down
I'm on a mission now
And I have nothing, but then the have is not as good as the want
