A Farewell To Kings Lyrics - Different Stages (live) - Rush

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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?
