And the modern mission
is to keep the soul alive and bright
even into the pitch of night
and the modern mission
is to keep the soul alive inside
even when you're denied your mind
And if the hearts unite
and if the timing's right
then it buys time
and if the hearts in line
as the hearts purify
its tuned by
The modern mission
is to keep the soul alive with life
even though you can't prove you're right
with no ammunition
to anesthetize your blinded eyes
against illusions of light and time
So when the heart reminds
what the heart requires
if the timing's right then you'll be fine
and if the hearts in line
as the hearts purify
its tuned by
The modern mission is to keep the soul alive thru the long and storming night
Our lives are
the modern mission to keep the soul alive thru the long and storming night
