Beneath, Between & Behind - Rush

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

Watch the cities rise

Another ship arrives

Earth's melting pot and ever growing

Fantastic dreams come true

Inventing something new

The greatest minds but never knowing

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 dreams's gone stale

But still let hope prevail

Hope that 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
