Lyrics The Mission - Van Canto

The Mission

For years and years we waited
And now the time has come
To leave these barren lands
Towards (new) horizons
No matter what has happened
And what was said or done
Words not to be forgotten
We will roam on!
We cross the gates of darkness
Into the black of night
We don’t fear anybody:
(We) got the second sight
We move a little further
Towards the borderline
Before the dawn of day
Our souls come back to life
And life comes back again
The mission’s to fight to be free again
To stand our ground and to be immortal
This is our mission so here we stand
We have the right to be ourselves again
They held us down for so long
Our backs against the wall
We didn’t see a future
Did not hear the call
But now that things have changed
Now that our fears are small
We create a vision
(And we) face it — one for all
We cross the gates of darkness
Into the black of night
We don’t fear anybody:
(We) got the second sight
We move a little further
Towards the borderline
Before the dawn of day
Our souls come back to life
And all I see, in front of me
Every step I take is bringing me closer to me!
The mission’s to fight to be free again
To stand our ground and to be immortal
This is our mission so here we stand
We have the right to be ourselves again
The mission’s to fight to be free again
All that we are is everything we’ve ever been
And what we’ll be is what we are
All we are
All we are
All we are
Is everything we’ve ever been
All that we are is everything we’ve ever been
And what we’ll be is what we are
The mission’s to fight to be free again
To stand our ground and to be immortal
This is our mission so here we stand
We have the right to be ourselves again
The mission’s to fight to be free again
