Retribution Drive
[Verse 1]
Lyin' beside me, your body's on fire
Twisting the shadows that feed our desire
Caught on a knife edge that fear can inspire
Lost in a landscape
[Chorus]
Only the lonely survive just to stay alive
On retribution drive
[Verse 2]
Storm clouds panic and rage outside
And if you ignore them, they'll find where you hide
None of our problems will lie on their side
Lost in a landscape
[Chorus]
Only the lonely survive just to stay alive
[Verse 3]
No, it's no use to pretend
Always hoping the future will somehow come right in the end
We can't hide up in this room
Just keep staring along the horizon that covers the moon
And wake up from the land of your night dreams
Don't let them ruin your life with their schemes
They just don't give a damn
Poison all that they can
Just for the glory of man
[Verse 4]
Watching you sleepin' I just can't explain
Moments of madness and moments of pain
But none of our sadness will save the insane
Lost in a landscape
[Chorus]
Only the lonely survive just to stay alive
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5]
Out of the ashes the phoenix flies
Screaming with anger in lead coloured skies
Using it's talons, will tear out their eyes
Lost in a landscape
[Chorus]
Only the lonely survive just to stay alive
On retribution drive
