The Mission - Butterfly On A Wheel (Resurrection version)

Silver and gold and it's growing cold
Autumn leaves lay as thick as thieves
Shivers down your spine chill you to the bone
'cos the mandolin wind is the melody that turns your heart to stone
The heat of your breath carving shadows in the mist
Every angel has the wish that she's never been kissed
A broken dream haunting in your sleep
And hiding in your smile
A secret you must keep, love cuts you deep

Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

There's no scarlet in you, lay your veil down for me
As sure as God made wine, you can't wrap your arms around a memory
Take warmth from me, cold autumn wind cut sharp as a knife
And in the dark for me, you're the candle flame that flickers to life

Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

Wise man say all is fair in love and war
And there's no right or wrong in the design of love
And I could only watch as the wind crushed your wings
Broken and torn, crushed like a flower under the snow
And like the flower in spring
Love will rise again to heal your wings

Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

The Mission - Wasteland (Resurrection Version)

There's a crystal view from my window
And I can see for yers to come I live for the sword the steel and the gun
I can tear down the walls and storm the barricades
Or run to the place where the frightened crawl
Desire lurcks beyond good an evil
So I dance on the graves where the hallowed fall
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
My spirit is willing and my flesh is craved
You tease and you taunt with the pleasure of pain
Over this land
All over this wasteland
Over this land
All over this wasteland

Heaven and hell I know them well
But I haven't yet made my choice
I'm feeling scared 'cos I'm shouting loud
And no one can hear my voice
I'm walking a tightwire can't look down
Cos I'm strung out high above you all
A fateful wind blows through this land
Howls my name and heralds my fall
Over this land
All over this wasteland
Over this land
All over this wasteland
Over this land
All over this wasteland
Over this land
All over this wasteland

The Mission - Sacrilege

Tarot strewn across the floor
Fate creeps under the creaking door
Say farewell to the salad days
Arms held out for the needle haze
Scars, scars start to show
But don't, don't despair for the shame I know

Bible for the love and damned
Religion for the pagan man
Faith and prayer for the chosen few
Mystic shades of violent hue
Blood, blood on my cheeks
And the taste
The taste of ash curls across my tongue

Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre
Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn

Rape and pillage the sacred word
Heart of darkness crowned and stirred
Rite of passage reckless whirl
Fruit forbidden ritual swirl
And you, what can you do?
And I, I say there's nothing you can do to stop this

Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre
Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn

Tarot strewn across the floor
Fate creeps under the creaking door
Say farewell to the salad days
Arms held out for the needle haze
Scars, scars start to show
But don't, don't despair for the shame I know

Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre
Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn

The Mission - Beyond The Pale

Cold still waters running deep
Pale before the eyes
Ravaged
By the hands that feed
Thunder clouds the skies
Drifting with the tide
Floating with the stream
The howling winds have gathered strength
From a whisper to a scream
Sell me down the river
And out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just on last kiss before raising hell
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale

Heed to Neptune's calling deceived in fable and lore
Learn from treacherous bibles
Of murder, hate and war
Searching for the tears
In an ocean of rain
The yearning of the raging sea beckons once again
Sell me down the river

And out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just on last kiss before raising hell
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale

Gathering of the storm
And the winds are blowing wild
Sweeping over cross and creed, country, colour and child
Mother Nature cries for love
Her children lost at sea
And as the waves take me away
Say a prayer for liberty
Sell me down the river
And out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just on last kiss before raising hell
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale

The Mission - Love Me To Death

Let me come inside your ivory tower
Let me come inside your hallowed walls
God, it's heaven in here
Fix me with your hand of praise
Fix me with your touch of precious thrills
Your fingers dance across my skin
Reaching out for the pride of man

Hand in hand, flesh in flesh
We're walking through the fire of love
Breath by breath, and flame by flame
We burn till the sun rises and shines hot
Love comes gushing, love runs free
My love comes all over you
My love comes for you

Love me to death, my flower
Run barefoot through my hair
Naked on my lips
Love me to death, my precious
Smother me with kisses
Drown me in your waves of falling sweetness

Hold me dear, bury me deep
Bless me with your word of savage honour
We love more by fate than design
So give me your hand and I'll gladly give you my life
A flower, that sways in the breeze
You must be stronger than the winds that blow you away
Blow you away

Love me to death, my precious
Run barefoot through my hair
Dance wild on my lips
Love me to death, my flower
Lay me down on your bed of petals
Cover me with your honey, my blossom

Love me to death
Love me to death
Love me to death, my flower
Love me to death, my treasure
Run barefoot through my hair
Dance wild on my heart
Love me to death, my precious
Love me to death, my love
Tarnish, taint and punish me softly
Softly love me to death
Love me to death

The Mission - Deliverance (Sorcerer's Mix)

And the lady of the lake takes my hand and leads me
To the holy isle and the fairy rings and the circles of stone

And a silent kiss steals away into the mist and out to the lake
Where the sword will rise again from the water into the

Brother, sister, give me, give me
Deliverance, deliver me
Give me, give me, give me, deliverance

The Mission - Without You

Tell me how you really feel
'Cause I'm not sure it's the same way that you used to
Tell me do you love me still
'Cause I'm so scare of being without you

And I don't wanna be cast adrift at sea
I don't wanna set sail without you
Tell me is there something wrong
'Cause I don't know if i could breathe without you
And tell me has the thrill gone
'Cause I'm so blind I can't see without you

And I don't wanna be cast adrift at sea
And it breaks my heart for us to be apart
Without you

Tell me are we really damned
'Cause I don't care for this bigotry
Tell me now have you wrung your hands
Or do you still carry a flame for me

I don't wanna be cast adrift at sea
I don't wanna set sail without you

And I know I'm gonna drown
Know I'm going down
'Cause there's no haven here without you
Without you
Without you

The Mission - Severina

She's got her head in the clouds
She's got the stars in her eyes
And she's dancing with a dream in her heart
She's got the wind in her hair
Moon child shining bright
And she's dancing, with a dream in her heart

Severina, Severina

She believes in angels
She believes in the will of the gods
And she's dancing amongst the magic dust
She believes in the midnight trance
She believes in 'love is the law'
And she's dancing amongst the magic dust

Severina, Severina

Star child
Baby born of heaven
Severina, Severina

She's got a heart full of promise
She's got her hand on her heart
And she's dancing by the light of the moon
She's got a head full of secrets
Sworn to the faith of "love under will"
And she's dancing by the light of the moon

Severina, Severina
She's a gift from the gods and she's dancing
Severina, Severina
Severina

The Mission - 1969

It's 1969 ok
War across the USA
There's no one here for me and you
Going here with nothing to do

There's nothing here for me and you
Another year with nothing to do, yow!

Now last year I was 21
I didn't have a lot of fun
Now I'm gonna be 22
So, oh my, I'll boohoo
Now I'm gonna be 22
Oh my, I'll boohoo, yow!

It's 1969 ok
War across the USA
Nothing here for me and you
Another year with nothing to do

The Mission - Like A Child Again (Resurrection Version)

I'm not scared anymore
I'm not scared of the dark when I sleep with you
And i'm feeling alive
And i'm feeling strong again when I'm with you
And it hits me
Just like a runaway train
And it blows me away
Just like a hurricane
You can make me happy and I hope you feel the same
You make me feel just like a child, a child again

I'm not trapped anymore
Between madonna and the whore when I lay with you
And the days run away
Like wild horses run away when I'm with you

And I'm breathing you in
Just like the morning air
And I'm wrapping you around
Just like a skin to wear

Oh sweet thing
I'm born once again
For you sweet thing
Just like a baby again
You make me happy and I hope you feel the same
And I'm in heaven and it feels like a gentle rain
You make me happy and I want you to feel the same
You make me feel just like a child
A child again

Or run to the place where the frightened crawl
Desire lurcks beyond good an evil
So I dance on the graves where the hallowed fall
Over this land
All over this wasteland over this land
All over this wasteland

You're innocent and pure and with no shame
My spirit is willing and my flesh is craved
You tease and you taunt with the pleasure of pain
