The Mission - Van Canto

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
