Abduction - Bruce Dickinson

I wake in sweat

You come to steal my life away

Some strange electric glow of artificial day

The power breakers closed

The grid of darkness falls

Shining, gleaming black as night

Burning all the light

What do you 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 genesis that failed

And many more have tried

What do you 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

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

What do you want from me?

I sense your mastery

There’s something you won’t ever find

So have your way with me

This soldier’s lost his victory

Rip me up, leave me behind
