Rush

Rush is a Canadian rock band formed in August 1968, in the Willowdale neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario. The band is composed of bassist, keyboardist, and lead vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist and backing vocalist Alex Lifeson, and drummer, percussionist and lyricist Neil Peart. The band and its membership went through a number of re-configurations between 1968 and 1974, achieving their iconic lineup when Peart replaced original drummer John Rutsey in July 1974, two weeks before the group's first United States tour. Rutsey's departure stemmed primarily from health concerns regarding his diabetes. In 2015 the band played their final show due to Peart's declining health. more »

Imagine a time
When it all began in the dying days of a war
A weapon, that would settle the score
Whoever found it first
Would be sure to do their worst
They always had before

Imagine a man
Where it all began 
A scientist pacing the floor
In each nation, always eager to explore
To build the best big stick
To turn the winning trick
But this was something more 

The big bang, took and shook the world 
Shot down the rising sun 
The end was begun, it would hit everyone 
When the chain reaction was done 
The big shots, try to hold it back 
Fools try to wish it away 
The hopeful depend on a world without end 
Whatever the hopeless may say 

Imagine a place
Where it all began
They gathered from across the land
To work in the secrecy of the desert sand
All of the brightest boys
To play with the biggest toys
More than they bargained for

The big bang, took and shook the world 
Shot down the rising sun 
The hopeful depend on a world without end 
Whatever the hopeless may say 

Imagine a man
When it all began
The pilot of Enola Gay
Flying out of the shock wave
On that August day
All the powers that be
And the course of history
Would be changed for evermore

The big bang, took and shook the world 
Shot down the rising sun 
The end was begun, it would hit everyone 
When the chain reaction was done 
The big shots, try to hold it back 
Fools try to wish it away 
The hopeful depend on a world without end 
Whatever the hopeless may say 

The big bang, took and shook the world 
Shot down the rising sun 
The hopeful depend on a world without end 
Whatever the hopeless may say
