How can I take on this mission? That I've been told to do My hands are tied, I am crucified I'm a stranger in a strange land So now I'm feeling the pressure It's boiling up inside Where hatred only grows stronger Comes a man, a beast, a killing machine And visions that are haunting me Through my blind eyes I still can see The mission has to be done Silent cries, the spirit dies By the hands of the innocent Before blue skies will fade to black On a darkened horizon The clouds are closing in When skies are fading to black again Hold your breath, I'm ready to attack So now I'm caught in the action There's nothing left to do I fear the end coming nearer Pull the trigger, now the curtain's closed And all is coming back to me Through open eyes I cannot see The mission had to be done Silent cries, the spirit dies By the hands of the innocent Before blue skies will fade to black Silent cries, the spirit dies Wash my hands of the innocent I close my eyes and say goodbye
