Red Sector A
Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson / Lyrics: Neil Peart
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 --
We'll 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 --
Ao 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?...
Red Lenses
Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson / Lyrics: Neil Peart
i see red
it hurts my head
guess it must be something
that i read
it's the colour of your heartbeat
a rising summer sun
the battle lost -- or won
the flash to fashion
and the pulse to passion --
feels red
inside my head
and truth is often bitter --
left unsaid
said red red
thinking about the overhead --
the underfed
-- couldn't we talk about something else instead?
we've got mars on the horizon
says the national midnight star
(it's true)
what you believe is what you are
a pair of dancing shoes --
the soviets are the blues --
the reds
under your bed
lying --
in the darkness
dead ahead
and the mercury is rising
barometer starts to fall
you know it gets to us all
the pain that is learning
and the rain that is burning --
feel red
still -- go ahead
you see black and white --
and i see red
(not blue)
