RUSH - Beneath, Between, And Behind lyrics

rate me

Ten score years ago, defeat the kingly foe

A wondrous dream came into being

Tame the trackless waste, no virgin land left chaste

All shining eyes, but never seeing

Chorus

Beneath the noble bird

Between the proudest words

Behind the beauty, cracks appear

Once with heads held high

They sang out to the sky

Why do their shadows bow in fear?

Watch the cities rise

Another ship arrives

Earth's melting pot and ever growing

Fantastic dreams come true

Inventing something new

The greatest minds, and never knowing

Chorus

The guns replace the plow, facades are tarnished now

The principles have been betrayed

The dreams's gone stale, but still, let hope prevail

History's debt won't be repaid

Chorus
