The Mission

30 Seconds to Mars · 30 Seconds to Mars [2002]

I open up my head inside

And find another person's mind

I'm gonna take this chance I've got

I run denying as we speak

Hiding my face among the weak

Some say their day is on the way



Into the wild

I'm with a mission

Over the hill

Come here with me



Into the wild

Into the wild



High above the serpentine

I cross below the well-worn lines

Entangled in a missing memory

A violent oversight

A formless order will give rise

To something some new world is here to seize



Into the wild

Into the wild



I love you this is a dream

I'm starting it's easy to see

To find someone else

someone who believes

And I know it

I see what you mean



Into the wild

I'm with a mission

Over the hill

Come here with me



Into the wild

I'm with a mission

Over the hill

Come here with me
