Retribution Drive Songtext
von Greg Lake

Lying beside me, your body′s on fire
Twisting in shadows that feed our desire
Caught on a nightmare that we can't expire

Lost in a landscape
Only the lonely survive just to stay alive
On Retribution Drive

Storm clouds panic and rage outside
If you ignore them, they′ll find where you hide
None of our problems will lie on their side

Lost in a landscape
Only the lonely survive just to stay alive


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

Watching you sleeping, I just can't explain
Moments of madness, moments of pain
But none of our sadness will save the insane

Lost in a landscape
Only the lonely survive just to stay alive

Out of the ashes, the phoenix flies
Screaming with anger in lead-colored skies
Using its talons, we′ll tear off their eyes

Lost in a landscape
Only the lonely survive just to stay alive
On Retribution Drive
