Bruce Dickinson - Abduction (with lyrics)

This is the first non-Maiden song I'm uploading, but still it's pretty close to Maiden's music, since it is performed by Bruce Dickinson, Iron Maiden's current vocalist, and surely the best vocalist in the world. This song is called Abduction and it's from his 2005 solo album Tyranny Of Souls. It's quite clear what the song is about :). Also notice an excellent guitar solo. Lyrics included (as always :)). Enjoy!

Lyrics:

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...

Long live the Air Raid Siren!

bruce's solo stuff definetly does not get enough publicity. I think his stuff is awesome- LISTEN TO IT PEOPLE!!!

Yeah, I agree. Most of his stuff is as good as Maiden's music. I'll definitely upload more.

[wandererlain]

Love this song. We never really know who the "aliens" are. They seem to be experimenting on people, much in the way that the Nazis did.

[sportsguy113]

@sTUPIfy308 or maybe a metalcore riff almost sounds like this....

[felphero]

that solo is just freaking out of this world, kinda like a zakk wylde meets malmsteen vibe there! crazy shit!!!

[EnterTheTurmoil]

@sTUPIfy308 metalcore is bollocks compared to this stuff.
