Preacher:
"…I'm asking for hands to be uplifted in just a moment.
God the Holy Ghost is calling out to embrace you.
I want you to reach deep into your hearts and your pocketbooks and take his hand.
Some of you are in a state of rebellion right now you're saying…"
Nikki:
"Bless me father for I have sinned"
In the wooden chair beside my window
I wear a face born in the falling rain
I talk to shadows from a lonely candle
Recite the phrases from the wall
I can't explain this holy pain
Six days ago my life had taken a tumble
The orders came from high above they say
A need to use me once again, they've got my number
Further the cause boy, yes you know the game
I'll wait here for days longer
Till sister comes to wash my sins away
She is the lady that can ease my sorrow
She brings the only friend that helps me find my way
I search the past back to a time when I was younger
A target for the new society
Picked to displace the leaders, countering objectives
Of this new underground reality
Waiting for days longer
Till sister comes to wash my sins away
She is the lady that can ease my sorrow
My love for her will help me find my way
(They'll say) My mission saved the world
And I stood proud
My mission changed the world
It turned my life around
I look around, my room is filled with candles
Each one a story but they end the same
I'll hide away in here, the law will never find me
The walls will tell the story of my pain
Waiting for days longer
Til sister comes to wash my sins away
She is the lady that can ease my sorrow
She sets the pace for my delivery of pain
(They'll say) My mission saved the world
And I stood proud
My mission changed the world
The underground (they'll say)
Will rise and save this world
We'll all stand proud
Our mission changed the world, changed the world
We'll all stand proud
