Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) «“ Abduction

Artist: Bruce Dickinson

Album : «˜Tyranny Of Souls»™

Song: Abduction

I wake in sweat

you’ve come to steal my life away

some strange electric glow

of artifical day

the power breakers closed

the grid of darkness falls

shining gleaming black as night

burning all the light

whattya want from me

i sense your mastery

there’s something you won’t ever find

so have your way with me

this prisoner is never free

rip me up leave me behind

are you the truth to sit in judgement on my sins

evil (laser?) gadgets come to penetrate my skin

the hanging judge is (open?)

and I’m damned before his eyes

another (gender?) system failed

and many more have tried

chorus

solo

«masterplan moment»

and so the story goes

i dreamt this long ago

highways hidden in the sand

reveal the troops i know

they took my worthless heart

and spat it through their eyes

Abduction means the end for me

a million years of misery

chorus
so have your way with me

this soldier’s lost victory

rip me up…
