Red Sector A (Rio Live)

Red Sector A (Rio Live Album Version) - Rush

All that we can do is just survive

All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive

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 and smoking guns

Cut down the unlucky ones

I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed

A wound that will not heal

A heart that cannot feel

Hoping that the horror will recede

Hoping that tomorrow well all be freed

Sickness to insanity

Prayer to profanity

Days and weeks and 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 and my brother it's 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

Are we the last ones left alive

Are we the only human beings to survive

I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate

Are the liberators here

Do I hope or do I fear

For my father and my brother it's 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

Are we the last ones left alive

Are we the only human beings to survive
