Woorden: Bruce Dickinson. Tyranny Of Souls. 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...
