Biography:
The Mission (known as The Mission UK in the United States due to a naming clash with a Philadelphia R&B band) is a goth band formed in 1986 in Leeds, England from the splinters of the freshly-dissolved goth band The Sisters of Mercy.
The band's original lineup consisted of Wayne Hussey (vocals, guitar), Craig Adams (bass), Simon Hinckler (guitar) and Mick Brown (drums).

"SERPENT’S KISS" THE MISSION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[Intro: Dm, F, Gm, Bb, Gm] x3
Dm F Gm Bb Gm
Foreign tongues in familiar places
Dm F Gm Bb Gm
Surrender the thrills to the very core
Dm F Gm Bb Gm
Forever young and blessed with nameless graces
Dm F Gm Bb Gm
A love that kills and promises more
Bb Gm
Ash on the carpet and dust on the mirror
Bb Gm
Chasing shadows and the dreaming comes clearer
Bb Gm
Gasping for colour, this perfect heart
Dm F
Screaming howl and the children play
Gm Bb Gm
Serpents kiss for the words you pray
Dm F
Whiskey and the devil and the witching hour
Gm Bb Gm
Serpents kiss on that untouched flower
Dm F
Searching for a haven, it’s no favour
Gm Bb Gm
The fingers that shine
Dm F Gm Bb Gm
Heart beats quicker as the veils start to fall
Dm F Gm Bb Gm
I’ll be craving, the pleasure’s all mine
Dm F Gm Bb Gm
Candles flicker as the devils dance on the wall
Bb Gm
Stroking the naked and the silence gets colder
Bb Gm
Stuck on the ceiling and the kissing gets bolder
Bb Gm
Biting my nails for fear of revenge
Dm Gm Bb Gm
Serpents kiss and the children play
Dm Gm Bb Gm
Serpents kiss for the words you pray
Dm Gm Bb Gm
Serpents kiss and the witching hour
Dm Gm Bb Gm
Serpents kiss on that untouched flower
[interlude Dm, F, Gm]
Bb Gm
Ash on the carpet and dust on the mirror
Bb Gm
Chasing shadows and the dreaming comes clearer
Bb Gm
Some kind of visitor and the neon street
Dm Gm Bb Gm
Serpents kiss and the children play
Dm Gm Bb Gm
Serpents kiss for the words you pray
Dm Gm Bb Gm
Serpents kiss and the witching hour
Dm Gm Bb Gm
Serpents kiss on that untouched flower
End [Dm, F, Gm]
