Beneath Between And Behind Lyrics

Beneath Between And Behind lyrics

Words by Neil Peart, Music by Alex Lifeson

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 birth
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, and never
knowing...

The guns replace the plow, facades are tarnished now
The
principles have been betrayed
The dreams's gone stale, but still, let hope
prevail
History's debt won't be repaid
