Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee, alex lifeson, and neil peart<br><br>When they turn the pages of history<br>When these days have passed long ago<br>Will they read of us with sadness<br>For the seeds that we let grow<br>We turned our gaze<br>From the castles in the distance<br>Eyes cast down<br>On the path of least resistance<br><br>Cities full of hatred<br>Fear and lies<br>Withered hearts<br>And cruel, tormented eyes<br>Scheming demons<br>Dressed in kingly guise<br>Beating down the multitude<br>And scoffing at the wise<br><br>The hypocrites are slandering<br>The sacred halls of truth<br>Ancient nobles showering<br>Their bitterness on youth<br>Can't we find<br>The minds that made us strong<br>Can't we learn<br>To feel what's right and wrong<br><br>Cities full of hatred<br>Fear and lies<br>Withered hearts<br>And cruel, tormented eyes<br>Scheming demons<br>Dressed in kingly guise<br>Beating down the multitude<br>And scoffing at the wise<br>Can't we raise our eyes<br>And make a start<br>Can't we find the minds<br>To lead us closer to the heart
