Rush — Beneath Between and Behind Exit...Stage Left

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 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 The guns replace the plow Facades are tarnished now The principles have been betrayed The dream’s gone stale But still let hope prevail History’s debt won’t be repaid 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
