Mission Lyrics
Chris Cornell
Pulled through you, and drowning in your swirl
Circling, unfolding in your will
Im going to glide on the winds of your breathing
And alight on your guarded heart
Im gonna tear all your temples down
Im on a mission now
Smoldering down inside your mood
Slithering and fanning in your eyes
Im going to dive through your crying
And sleep in your hair
Rise from your ashes and kneel in you prayers
Tear all your temples down
Im on a mission now
And I have nothing
But then the have is not as good as the want
Im gonna glide on the winds of your breathing
Writhe in your calm and provide your release
Weave into your wanting and needing
And reside in the heart of your strongest beliefs
Im gonna tear all your temples down
Im on a mission now
And I have nothing
But then the have is not as good as the want
