The Way The Wind Blows Lyrics - Snakes & Arrows - Rush

Now it's come to this. 

It's like we're back in the Dark Ages. 

From the Middle East to the Middle West. 

It's a world of superstition. 

Now it's come to this. 

Wide-eyed armies of the faithful 

from the Middle East to the Middle West. 

Pray, and pass the ammunition. 

So many people think that way. 

You gotta watch what you say. 

To them and them, and others, too 

who don't seem to see things the way you do. 

We can only grow the way the wind blows 

on a bare and weathered shore. 

We can only bow to the here and now 

in our elemental war.

We can only grow the way the wind blows. 

We can only bow to the here and now 

or be broken down blow by blow. 

Now it's come to this. 

Hollow speeches of mass deception. 

from the Middle East to the Middle West 

like crusaders in unholy alliance. 

Now it's come to this-- 

like we're back in the dark ages. 

From the Middle East to the Middle West 

it's a plague that resists all science. 

It seems to leave them partly blind 

and they leave no child behind 

while evil spirits haunt their sleep-- 

while shepherds bless and count their sheep.

We can only grow the way the wind blows 

on a bare and weathered shore. 

We can only bow to the here and now 

in our elemental war. 

We can only grow the way the wind blows. 

We can only bow to the here and now 

or be broken down blow by blow. 

Like a solitary pine 

on a bare wind-blasted shore 

we can only grow the way the wind blows.
