Lyrics Beneath, Between & Behind - LIve In The UK / 1980 - Rush

Whhooooaaa!
Ten score years ago
Defeat the kingly foe, a
Wonderous 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 dream's gone stale but
Still let hope prevail
But 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?
