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 »

When they turn the pages of history
When these days have passed long ago
Will they read of us with sadness
For the seeds that we let grow?
We turned our gaze
From the castles in the distance
Eyes cast down
On the path of least resistance 

Cities full of hatred 
Fear and lies 
Withered hearts 
And cruel, tormented eyes 
Scheming demons 
Dressed in kingly guise 
Beating down the multitude 
And scoffing at the wise 

The hypocrites are slandering
The sacred halls of truth
Ancient nobles showering
Their bitterness on youth
Can't we find
The minds that made us strong?
Oh can't we learn
To feel what's right and what's wrong? What's wrong

Cities full of hatred 
Fear and lies 
Withered hearts 
And cruel, tormented eyes 
Scheming demons 
Dressed in kingly guise 
Beating down the multitude 
And scoffing at the wise 
Whoa can't we raise our eyes 
And make a start?
Can't we find the minds 
To lead us closer to the heart?
