Rush - A Farewell To Kings Lyrics
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
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
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?

Neil, farewell to a king
A fantastic drummer and a criminally underrated lyricist in a band that had the wisdom and wherewithall to release their vast library of material on Youtube for all to enjoy...on 21/12. If there were proper words to fully express our collective feeling of loss and sorrow, appreciation and respect, the man best capable of formulating them has left us to figure them out on our own.
Thank you Neil Peart. Your influence will live on in music till the end of time...and then some.
Farewell to the king.
Farewell to a great drummer king may he rest in peace rip neil
A farewell to the king of drumming.
Pure excellence. R I p Neil

A Farewell To The King! R.I.P. Neil.
RIP NEIL PEARTH
YOU'LL ALWAYS BE ONE OF THE GREATEST DRUMMERS TO WALK THE EARTH
Thankyou Neil for all your years of raw musical power, energy and majesty. This is not just some Fly By Night band, they will still be listened to in 2112, their music will drift through the ether forever on Permanent Waves, the epitome of Grace Under Pressure, a band that was more than just Moving Pictures, they truly captured the Spirit of Radio, they tapped into both Hemispheres of our brains, they showed everyone that All the Worlds a Stage, so now as we turn off the Signals, because Transmission Impossible, it's time to Roll The Bones, and have a Show of Hands, as we say A Farewell to Kings.......... EXIT STAGE LEFT.
Goodbye Neil, This world misses you.
Well said man
@Bjangofett J cheers Bro, it's from the heart.
God's speed to our dearest friend Neil Peart.
We will forever cherish you.

Rush is by far one of the best Rock Bands to exist. Granted, at least in my opinion, they went downhill after Moving Pictures but everything up to there was solid gold.
I love your new video
The first time I saw them was on this tour. It's difficult to convey how great, exciting and captivating they were. And then they got better, and better and better. Kings, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, and Moving Pictures. It was epic. (I had seen them five times to that point. They lost me entirely with Signals, which I still haven't listened to from start to finish, but I was really grateful for the ride up to that point, and I was then ready to move on.)
First listen for me..I like it....
I like a lot xD
Alex Lifeson is not underrated.
First Rush I heard, aged 13 the Album opener blew me away.I was a bit taken aback by the High register of Geddy's vocal...but I still fell in love with these 3 Fantastic Musicians.Great Lyrics too. A Unique Sound.Still Love it. Thanks Guys!
the time passes and this music still TIMELESS!!
Can't we find the minds to lead us closer to the heart?
Trump would never understand this song
