The Mission - Children (2007) by The Mission (보컬) on maniadb.com

Desert rat cry me wolf
Shedding skin upon you lips
I pray
For the love of madness
For the hand that takes the grip

And we close our eyes
To forgive and forget
And we close our eyes
To forgive and forget
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come

I build myself a brave asylum
And ask all the madmen to play host
And when the colours all fade away
It's time for us to give the ghost
Give up the ghost

And we close our eyes
To dream a while
And we close our eyes
To dream a while
Dream a while
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come

And while we're talking in tongeus
Of animal behaviour
With a flick of the wrist you could've broken my heat
And done yourself a favour
And I cry in the heat
For the promised and given

The hand I once would trust
Now for the love of heaven
You won't see me
See me for dust

And we close our eyeas
To love again
And we close our eyes
To love again
Love again
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come

I'm living in the hope
Of a breath to be shared
It's all I've ever wanted
It's all I ever dared
So breathe
Breathe deep


Breathe
Breathe long and hard
Breathe with me
Breathe with me

Dust is the one
She provides all the fun
And we're all falling down in a heap on the floor
We're falling around
Pleading for more
And shell shocked eyes keep shooting their lies
As she lays down the law and the god given line
She lays down the law
We cut it fine

This is child's play
This is child's play

Snow in Berlin and she freezes my skuin
Pick up a thought
And she gets out of hand
Perish a thought
And she makes demands

With her tongue and her frown
She dresses me down
She bleeds me dry and tears me to shreds

Bleeds me dry
And leaves me for dead
This is child's play
This is child's play
Child's play
Child's play
Child's play

She never says die and she never asks why
One thing she's learned is she's kind to be cruel
One thing she's learned
It's better to serve than to rule
This is child's play
This is child's play
This is child's play
This is child's play
Children at play
Child's play
Children at play
Child's play

Listen
To the silence
Of the breaking of my heart
From a lowly vale
To the rolling hills
You and I
Lie worlds apart
Time is catching my breath
As love bleeds slowly to death
Black mountain mist
Take me back again
Black mountain mist
Come carry me home

And sleep
Is stirring dreams
Of innocence and yesterday
When the sun shone bright
And high in the sky
And we lived in hope
Of come what may

Forever with laughter we cried
And the truth is never could we have lied
Black mountain mist
Take me back again
Black mountain mist
Come carry me home

And when the rain comes
To clear away the mist
Feel it's caress
Feel it's embrace
Feel it's wasting kiss
Black mountain mist
Take me back again
Black mountain mist
Come carry me home
Black mountain mist
Come carry me carry me home
Carry me carry me home

Every time that I look in the mirror,
all these lines on my face getting clearer.
The past that's gone,
In the night like dusk to dawn. (Not sure about that)
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got their price in life to pay.

I know nobody knows,
Where it comes and where it goes.
I know everybody sins;
You've got the truth to throw away. (Not sure about that)

Half my life's in books' written pages,
Live and learn from fools and from sages.
You know it's true;
All these feelings come back to you.

Sing with me, sing for the year,
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear.
Sing with me, just for today,

Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away.

Dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream until your dreams come true.

Every time that you look in the mirror,
All those lines on your face getting clearer.
You know it's true;
All these feelings are coming back to you.

Sing with me, sing for the year,
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear.
Sing with me, just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away.

Dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream until your dreams come true.
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream on, dream on, dream on, yeah.

Let me lay waste with gentle persuasion
Let me lay down
To sweat in the heat
On the back of beyond we laugh at all reason
And in the light of it all
There's no need to retreat
And the heat comes down
And the heat comes down
And hand in hand
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat

Save for the asking fortune favours the brave
Let me take strength
From the child in your eyes
And between the lines we dance into the mirror
And a grateful embrace
Layes in wait for the sun to rise

And the heat comes down
And the heat comes down
And hand in hand
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat


We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat

Please don't take it hard when
I give myself to you
And love will come easy
When you deign to swallow my pride
Before I ever touch your lips
You promise the very earth to me
And tender hearts and broken down
When you take me deep inside

And the heat comes down
And the heat comes down
And hand in hand
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
Melt in the heat
