Mission Motherland Songtext

von Helloween

So, so, so far from our system we came here through space
To leave poisoned spheres for your race
Our knowledge we trade for the time shared on earth
To take and give for what it's worth

On our screens we've been shown your world
Plead for your welcome, you won't get hurt

Mission motherland
Another chance
With sunlit soil and air to breathe
Is there any place
For us to live
To grow descendants, to be free
To be free

You, you, you gave us resources, you gave us advice
To deal with the unknown, to get humanized
We've shown you dimensions and brought you on ways
You've never seen yesterday

Hand in hand we will march through time
So much more to research and find

Mission motherland
Another chance
With sunlit soil and air to breathe
Is there any place
For us to live
To grow descendants, to be free
To be free, yeah

(x4) Oh

Yeah (x4)

Oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

When you hear these words
We've taken cold refuge
In freezers to keep us (live), what we did not know
Your central star called sun
Sends lethal rays to earth
Say how many of us died
In the streams of light
Faceless bodies, morbid cries
Doomed our colonies
Wake us when, wake us when you've healed the world, healed the world
Save our souls

When will we stand as one again
And fulfill what we understand

(x2) Mission motherland
Another chance
With sunlit soil and air to breathe
Is there any place
For us to live
To raise our pendants, to be free (x2)
To be free

To be free
