Bruce Dickinson - Abduction lyrics

Abduction

I wake in sweat you've come to steal my life away

Some strange electric glow of artifical day

The power breakers close, the grid of darkness falls

Shining gleaming black as night, burning all the light

[chorus:]

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 - how many more have tried?

[chorus:]

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...

[solo]

And so the story goes I dreamt this long ago

Highways hidden in the sand reveal the truths 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:]

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...
