"Abduction" lyrics - BRUCE DICKINSON

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...
