Rush - Red Sector A lyrics

Album: 1981-87 Retrospective II (1997)

All that we can do is just survive
All that we can do to help ourselves
Is stay alive...

Ragged lines of ragged grey
Skeletons, they shuffle away
Shouting guards & smoking guns
Will cut down the unlucky ones

I clutch the wire fence
Till my fingers bleed
A wound that will not heal-
A heart that can not feel-
Hoping that the horror will recede
Hoping that tomorrow-
We will all be freed

Sickness to insanity
Prayer to profanity
Days & weeks & months go by
Don´t feel the hunger-too weak to cry

I hear the sound of gunfire
At the prison gate
Are the liberators here-
Do I hope or do I fear?
For my father & my brother-it is too late
But I must help my mother
Stand up straight...

Are we the last ones left alive?
Are we the only human beings
To survive?...
