Red Sector A歌词
作词 : Neil Peart
作曲 : Geddy Lee/Alex Lifeson
(这首是Neil在跟Geddy妈妈聊过她在集中营里的日子后写下的歌)
(曲名源于NASA在KSC的发射区域,RUSH 81年在那里参观了第一架航天飞机哥伦比亚号的发射,此行亦是前专中Countdown的创作之源)
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
Will 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
Dont 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, its 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?
