"Vision Thing", by Simple Minds?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Alas, no:

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

Some Sisters tags in the lyrics, could be a coincidence though.


The morning of the night before, I'm wide awake and thinking of you
And no one in this universe could make me do the things that you do
Is no rhyme or reason, why you'd ever stop believing in me?
You took me to another room and told me 'bout the things that you see

You have the gift, can you give it to me?
I opened up and I'm still wondering
I wakened up and I was able to see
The vision thing, you got the vision thing

Raised with revolution, I could find no solution inside
I'd fall and fail a million times before the day when I get it right
I walked into an empty room and came across a version of me
You opened up the world you know and told me 'bout that vision you see

You have the gift, can you show me the plan?
Show me the way that I could understand
I opened up and I was able to see
The vision thing, you got the vision thing
Do you remember a time when angels... do you remember a time when fear?
In the days when I was stronger, in the days when you were here?
