Abduction Lyrics
I wake in sweat you've come to steal my life away
Some strange electric glow of artificial day
The power breakers close, 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- how 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 dreampt this long ago
Highways hidden in the sands 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...
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.........
Some strange electric glow of artificial day
The power breakers close, the grid of darkness falls
Shining gleaming black as night, burning all the light
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.........
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?
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.........
Highways hidden in the sands 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...
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.........

Un-god-like guitar solos in this song. Can't say anything else im just speechless, I guess in how amazing Dickinson is!
The song is average, but that guitar playing, especially brilliant solo - excellent!
virtualfactor is a retard who probably hasn't heard the song and read only the lyrics.
I consider myself a Dickinson fan, but the album is disappointing.
This song in particular is the avatar to my feeling of the whole album. From the beginning, the album appears to be a more personal album than past Dickinson albums. From his love of flying, history and, of course in the case of abduction, his love of science-fiction first explored in his Skunkworks days. The instrumentation was exceptional, however, due to the personal nature of Bruce Dickinson, the album at a whole was pretty decadent. Not to mention, upon cursory glance, the album art looks very cartoonish....even if it was formally a painting.
I guess i've just been listening to 'The Chemical Wedding' and 'Scream for me Brazil' too long.
"this song is gay" for god sake how old are you virtualfactor? 10?
its a good song, awesome guitar but not realy one of dickinsons best
People were disappointed by Tyranny of Souls? It's once again a filler-free album. Abduction's one of my favourites off the record (alongside Navigate the Seas of the Sun, Kill Devil Hill and the title track).
And the video's pretty hilarious. :D
This song is so gay. 'What do you want from me, I sense your mastery' Now that's something to laugh at!
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
