Beneath, Between And Behind Lyrics - Fly By Night - Rush

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 bird 

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?

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Watch the cities rise 

Another ship arrives 

Earth's melting pot and ever growing 

Fantastic dreams come true 

Inventing something new 

The greatest minds were never knowing 

Beneath the noble bird 

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? 

The guns replace the plow, façades 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
