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 stong

Can't we learn

To feel what's right and 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
