Rush - Anthem
Tekst :
Know your place in life is where you want to be
Don t let them tell you that you owe it all to me
Keep on looking forward, no use in looking round
Hold your head above the crowd and they won t bring you down
Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
We marvel after those who sought
The wonders of the world, wonders of the world
Wonders of the world they wrought
Live for yourself
There s no one else more worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts
Will only cry out for more
Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
We marvel after those who sought
The wonders of the world, wonders of the world
Wonders of the world they wrought
Well, I know they ve always told you
Selfishness was wrong
Yet it was for me, not you
I came to write this song
Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
We marvel after those who sought
The wonders of the world, wonders of the world
Wonders of the world they wrought, wrought, wrought
Rush - Grand designs
Tekst :
A to B
Different degrees...
So much style without substance
So much stuff without style
It s hard to recognize the real thing
It comes along once in a while
Like a rare and precious metal beneath a ton of rock
It takes some time and trouble to separate from the stock
You sometimes have to listen to a lot of useless talk
Shapes and forms against the norm
Against the run of the mill
Swimming against the stream
Life in two dimensions is a mass production scheme
So much poison in power, the principles get left out
So much mind on the matter, the spirit gets forgotten about
Like a righteous inspiration overlooked in haste
Like a teardrop in the ocean, a diamond in the waste
Some world-views are spacious
And some are merely spaced
Against the run of the mill
Static as it seems
We break the surface tension with our wild kinetic dreams
Curves and lines
Of grand designs...
Rush - By-tor and the snowdog
Tekst :
At The Tobes Of Hades
At the Tobes of Hades
The Tobes of Hades
Lit by flickering torchlight
The Netherworld is gathered in the glare
Prince By-Tor takes the cavern
To the north light
The sign of Eth is rising in the air
By-Tor, knight of darkness
Centurion of evil
Devil s prince
II. Across The Styx
Across the river Styx
Out of the lamplight
His nemesis is waiting at the gate
The Snow Dog, ermine glowing
In the damp night
Coal-black eyes shimmering with hate
By-Tor and the Snow Dog
Square for battle
Let the fray begin
III. Of The Battle
(instrumental)
IV. Epilogue
The battle s over
And the dust is clearing
Disciples of the Snow Dog sound the knell
Rejoicing echoes
As the dawn is nearing
By-Tor in defeat
Retreats to Hell
Snow Dog is victorious
The land of the Overworld
Is saved again
Inne utwory
Losowe utwory
Spectral planes before my eyes Ambivalent glowing with my inner
pandemonium Crimson horizons merge into ashen skies Ascending
bleakness but not clourless I stride ahead... Light-absorbing signs
appears above me Symbols to guide me, symbols to brace me Impressed
by those views which I always foresaw Hearing the silent resonance
of everlastingness A cosmos that...
Chorus:
Whatever we had goin it sure aint anymore
Where there used to laughter now theres only pain
(Verse One)
I never thought it would end
Called u my soul mate
Thought u d become my wife
Together forever
Noone could tell me otherwise
Now I look back
Rememberin all those tears from ur eyes
Those were the three longest yrs...
I am hatred, seeping blood.
The rain, the flood, the grief.
I am rage becoming flesh.
A dismal, ravaged life.
This is pain, a wall of tears.
And my tears are my truest friends.
This, my heart, a dying sun.
A flower fading to black.
Oh God, why have you...
This is our small electric space
A place of love a place of hate
Friends that hold you true
Who scares you more than you
Sometimes it s warm sometimes it s cold
Sometimes it s just like your world
Lost track of time lost the whole of you
Lost every thing worth fighting for
So you hide...
The last selection in the ballgame.
Does never get a pass.
Not appreciated s just his first name.
He s the scapegoat of the class.
There are no friends to cheer him up and no girls, no sweet
romance.
It s impossible to expand,...
