Rush - A Farewell to Kings lyrics
[Rush - A Farewell to Kings lyrics]
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?
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
Can't we raise our eyes and make a start?
Can't we find the minds to lead
Us closer to the Heart?
