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 - Stay With Me

Books and covers and part time lovers

Spinning in rooms in cities of rust

I'm stranded, struck out on this line

There's smoke and fire and steel and wire

And glass and spire and dust

On to the floor at dawn with lips tied and drawn

Sleepless nights spent, with angels heaven sent

Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side

Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside

Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me

Stay, with me

Stay, with me

All of us lying there in the dreams

Speak of days and another place

I wander as the gypsy under a beckoning moon

Speak of time, and another face

They would in languid cry a fleeting furtive sigh

From the cradle to the grave love to desire and crave

Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side

Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside

Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me

Stay, with me

Stay, with me

I'll laugh for you, and I'll dance for you

But don't ask me to shed any tears when I have to go

You are a joy and a pleasure to love and to hold

Your promises, are as pure as the driven snow

Passing shapes in the night the touch distraught and light

As you brightly shine, your love tonight is mine

Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side

Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside

Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me

Stay, with me

Stay, with me

Stay, stay with me

Stay, stay, stay with me

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 - Into The Blue

Mumbo jumbo, listen to the whispers of madness
We have climbed mountains of dust
We have seen gold gather rust
Hocus pocus the stampede of my heart
We have sailed on the stars through the air
We have flown on the wings of a prayer
Into the blue, only with you
Into the blue, only with you, into the blue

Gasoline rainbows swimming in the puddles in the street
Whichever way the wind blows we've got the whole damn
World crawling at our feet
Laughing canyons and everglades
Candle flames and razor blades
Dancing through the poppy fields, hand in hand we cascade
Into the blue, only with you
Into the blue, only with you, into the blue

There's a singing dwarf on the streets of New York
There's a shuffling man with plastic on his head
There's a preacher woman crying in the traffic
Crying for the living crying for the dead
The waste of it all, the waste of it all
And there's more at stake than we could ever know
'Cos when we're together we always fall
Into the blue, only with you
Into the blue, only with you, into the blue

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 - 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

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 - Tower of Strength

You raise me up
When I'm on the floor
You see me through
When I'm lonely and scared
And I'm feeling true to the written word
And you're true to me
And still I need more
It would tear me apart
To feel no one ever cared
For me
For me
For me
You are a tower of strength to me

You stand firm and proud
When the wind blows in your face
And when the sun shines in your eyes
You just turn your head away
To me
To me
To me
You are a tower of strength to me

You rescue me
You are my faith
My hope
My liberty
And when there is darkness all around
You shine bright for me
You are the guiding light

To me
To me
To me
You are a tower of strength to me

You are all passion and heart
When I lay in your embrace
And heaven is in your kiss
Salvation lies just a touch away

To me
To me
To me
You are a tower of strength to me
