On the lyrical narrative for “The Mission”, Ray Alder shares, “A man experiences a psychotic episode in which he hears voices. I think this is pretty obvious. This was the last song written for the album. It almost didn’t make it. Jim thought the album was a bit too short so we added it last minute. I’m glad we did. It’s one of my favorites.”

The Mission

Oh, I, I’m on a mission to save the world tonight
Arousing no suspicion hidden from the light
It’s up to me now alone among the sinners
But I won’t suffer innocents to ashes

What kind of place is this when shadows hide in daylight?
And blackened rain is crashing down
Eyes of emptiness, cries of hopelessness, lies upon their lips
Alone I’ll carry out my mission

Mission…mission…mission…mission…
Mission…mission…mission…mission…

I try to drown the voices that plague my every stride
Whispering, shouting, laughing all from inside

What kind of place is this when shadows hide in daylight?
And blackened rain is crashing down
Eyes of emptiness, cries of hopelessness, lies upon their lips
Alone I’ll carry out my mission

A dark alley speaks without a sound
The way my heart beats I know I’m found
It’s hard now to breathe, a silence so profound
With eyes wide I see I am unbound

What kind of place is this when shadows hide in daylight?
And blackened rain is crashing down
Eyes of emptiness, cries of hopelessness, lies upon their lips
My mission is in doubt

Now I’m on a new mission to save what’s left inside
Because I’m living doesn’t mean that I’m alive
I walk in sunlight, no fear of what’s ahead
But then a voice whispers, “The mission isn’t dead”
