Rush - Beneath, Between, Behind Lyrics
Ten score years ago, defeat the kingly foeA wondrous dream came into beingTame the trackless waste, no virgin land left chasteAll shining eyes, but never seeing[Chorus:]Beneath the noble birdBetween the proudest wordsBehind the beauty, cracks appearOnce with heads held highThey sang out to the skyWhy do their shadows bow in fear?Watch the cities riseAnother ship arrivesEarth's melting pot and ever growingFantastic dreams come trueInventing something newThe greatest minds, and never knowing[Chorus]The guns replace the plow, facades are tarnished nowThe principles have been betrayedThe dreams's gone stale, but still, let hope prevailHistory's debt won't be repaid[Chorus]
