The Mission
Royal Hunt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Move along it takes too long,you`re holding back the line!"
I tell you, we've been waiting here forever
"Go ahead,don`t worry-yet
'Cause everything is fine"
A brand new world for us, it's now or never

We`ll change the rules for those native fools
Hail intervention-we`re under one flag
'Cause we are on the mission and we`ll never go back

Now we`re on the mission-the average man
is down on his knees,so he won`t understand
Above the suspicion and fear of the law
we do what we do what it takes to continue the war
The mission`s right over your head
"It`s not what you think", as it's always been said
No visible victims-we`re very discrete
There`s no turning back 'til the day when the mission`s
complete

"Hurry up and check the map,there must be something left"
Nobody`s getting rich by moving slower
"Torch their towns, forget the clowns accusing us in theft"
Remember how it works, we're taking over!

It could be strange and will need some changes, so...




Hail intervention-we`re under one flag
'Cause we are on the mission and we`ll never go back

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Royal Hunt's song The Mission portray a sense of urgency and determination towards achieving a new world order. The song seems to be about a group of people who are imposing their power over a set of people who are regarded as "native fools." "Move along it takes too long / you're holding back the line!" suggests impatience and the need to move ahead with the plan, regardless of opposition or setbacks. The line "A brand new world for us, it's now or never" portrays a sense of a final destination or a goal that they are intent on achieving.


The song's lyrics speak to the idea of interventionism for the greater good, even if it means breaking the rules. There is a clear sense of division between the "average man" who is "down on his knees" and the singers who feel that they are "above the suspicion and fear of the law." The chorus repeats that, as they are on a mission, they will never go back, indicating that the outcome of the plan is non-negotiable.


Overall, the tone of the lyrics suggests a sense of superiority and control over those regarded as "native fools." It portrays a willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve their mission, and there is no indication of empathy or regard for the potential harm that they might be inflicting on others in the process.
