Lyrics
The Mission
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.
Take this down to where the streets are cold and nameless
Just be sure to watch your back cuz they will
Find you and attack you without warning
There's trouble all around this place and danger in the strangest face
If you get lost along the way just close your eyes and softly say
The silent words you never heard when you were sleeping soundly in your bed
They won't go away
They don't leave
They won't go away
They don't sleep
We have only just begun to see the future
In the corner of our eyes a little circle will arise and start to take you
The ships are sailing in the bay and they won't leave till they've been paid
And everyone's been bought and sold but no one's worth their weight in gold
It's only just a feeling but the devil has been dealing all the cards
They won't go away
They don't leave
They won't go away
They don't sleep
