VERSURI RUSH
| Rush - 2112 |
| I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of
Megadon. City and sky become one, merging into a
single plane, a vast sea of unbroken grey. The
Twin Moons, just two pale orbs as they trace
their way across th |
| Rush - A Farewell To Kings |
| 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
Ey |
| Rush - A Passage To Bangkok |
| Our first stop is in Bogota
To check Colombian fields
The natives smile and pass along
A sample of their yield
Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams
Golden Acapulco nights
Then Morocco, and the East,
Fl |
| Rush - Afterimage |
| Suddenly, you were gone
From all the lives you left your mark upon
I remember
How we talked and drank into the misty dawn
I hear the voices
We ran by the water on the wet summer lawn
I see the |
| Rush - Animate |
| Polarize me
Sensitize me
Criticize me
Civilize me
Compensate me
Animate me
Complicate me
Elevate me
Goddess in my garden
Sister in my soul
Angel in my armor
Actress in my role
Daugh |
| Rush - Bastille Day |
| There's no bread, let them eat cake
There's no end to what they'll take
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth
Wash the salt into the earth
But they're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim |
| Rush - Beneath, Between, And Behind |
| 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
Chorus
Beneath the noble bird
|
| Rush - Circumstances |
| A boy alone, so far from home,
Endless rooftops from my window.
I felt the gloom of empty rooms
On rainy afternoons.
Sometimes in confusion,
I felt so lost and disillusioned,
Innocence gave me |
| Rush - Cut To The Chase |
| It is the fire that lights itself
But it burns with a restless flame
The arrow on a moving target
The archer must be sure of his aim
It is the engine that drives itself
But it chooses the uphill |
| Rush - Cygnus x1. book ii: hemispheres |
| I. Prelude
When our weary world was young
The struggle of the ancients first began.
The gods of Love and Reason
Sought alone to rule the fate of Man.
They battled through the ages,
But still neither |
| Rush - Dog Years |
| In a dog's life
A year is really more like seven
And all too soon a canine
Will be chasing cars in doggie heaven
It seems to me
As we make our own few circles 'round the sun
We get it backwards |
| Rush - Dreamline |
| He's got a road map of Jupiter
A radar fix on the stars
All along the highway
She's got a liquid-crystal compass
A picture book of the rivers
Under the Sahara
They travel in the time of the pr |
| Rush - Driven |
| Driven up and down in circles
Skidding down a road of black ice
Staring in and out storm windows
Driven to a fool's paradise
It's my turn to drive
But it's my turn to drive
Driven to the margin |
| Rush - Earthshine |
| On certain nights
When the angles are right
And the moon is a slender crescent
It's circle shows
In a ghostly glow
Of earthly luminescence
Earthshine
A beacon in the night
I can raise my ey |
| Rush - Everyday Glory |
| In the house where nobody laughs
And nobody sleeps
In the house where love lies dying
And the shadows creep
A little girl hides shaking,
With her hands on her ears
Pushing back the tears,
'Ti |
| Rush - Freeze |
| The city crouches, steaming
In the early morning half light
The sun is still a rumor
And the night is still a threat
Slipping through the dark streets
And the echoes and the shadows
Something stirs b |
| Rush - Here Again |
| I said I played this song so many times before
That the melody keeps repeating.
Growing new ideas, flowing chords and notes,
Like a mountain river bleeding.
Well, I say as I look back at all the th |
| Rush - In The End |
| Well, I can see what you mean
It just takes me longer
And I can feel what you feel
It just makes you stronger
Chorus
I know, I know, I know
Oh, the feeling grows
I see, I see, I see
It's go |
| Rush - Madrigal |
| When the dragons grow too mighty
To slay with pen or sword
I grow weary of the battle
And the storm I walk toward
When all around is madness
And there's no safe port in view
I long to turn my p |
| Rush - Making Memories |
| There's a time for feelin' as good as we can
The time is now, and there's no stoppin' us
There's a time for livin' as high as we can
Behind us you will only see our dust.
Just keep smilin', move on |
| Rush - Manhattan Project |
| Imagine a time when it all began
In the dying days of a war
A weapon that would settle the score
Whoever found it first would be sure to do their
worst.
They always had before...
Imagine a man wh |
| Rush - Marathon |
| It's not how fast you can go
The force goes into the flow
If you pick up the beat
You can forget about the heat
More than just survival
More than just a flash
More than just a dotted line
Mor |
| Rush - Neurotica |
| You just don't get it
What it is ... well, you're not really sure
You move like you're walking on this ice
Talking like you're still insecure
Time is a spiral -- space is a curve
I know you get d |
| Rush - New World Man |
| He's a rebel and a runner
He's a signal turning green
He's a restless young romantic
Wants to run the big machine
He's got a problem with his poisons
But you know he'll find a cure
He's cleanin |
| Rush - One Little Victory |
| A certain measure of innocence
Willing to appear naive
A certain degree of imagination
A measure of make-believe
A certain degree of surrender
To the forces of light and heat
A shot of satisfac |
| Rush - Prime Mover |
| Basic elemental instinct to survive
Stirs the higher passions
Thrill to be alive
Alternating currents in a tidewater surge
Rational resistance to an unwise urge
Anything can happen...
From the |
| Rush - Red Lenses |
| I see red
And it hurts my head
Guess it must be something
That I read
It's the color of your heartbeat
A rising summer sun
The battle lost or won
The flash to fashion
And the pulse to passi |
| Rush - Resist |
| I can learn to resist
Anything but temptation
I can learn to co-exist
With anything but pain
I can learn to compromise
Anything but my desires
I can learn to get along
With all the things I c |
| Rush - Second Nature |
| A memo to a higher office
Open letter to the powers that be
To a god, a king, a head of state
A captain of industry
To the movers and the shakers...
Can't everybody see?
It ought to be second n |
| Rush - Secret Touch |
| The way out
Is the way in
The way out
Is the way in...
Out of touch
With the weather and the wind direction
With the sunrise
And the phases of the moon
Out of touch
With life in the land |
| Rush - Sweet Miracle |
| I wasn't walking on water
I was standing on a reef
When the tide came in
Swept beneath the surface
Lost without a trace
No hope at all
No hope at all
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
O |
| Rush - Tai Shan |
| High on the sacred mountain
Up the seven thousand stairs
In the golden light of autumn
There was magic in the air
The clouds surrounded the summit
The wind blew strong and cold
Among the silent |
| Rush - Territories |
| I see the Middle Kingdom between Heaven and Earth
Like the Chinese call the country of their birth
We all figure that our homes are set above
Other people than the ones we know and love
In every pl |
| Rush - The Analog Kid |
| A hot and windy August afternoon
Has the trees in constant motion
With a flash of silver leaves
As they're rocking in the breeze
The boy lies in the grass with one blade
Stuck between his teeth
|
| Rush - The Body Electric |
| One humanoid escapee
One android on the run
Seeking freedom beneath a lonely desert sun
Trying to change its program
Trying to change the mode -- crack the code
Images conflicting into data overl |
| Rush - The Necromancer |
| I. Into The Darkness
As grey traces of dawn tinge the eastern sky, the
three travelers, men of Willowdale, emerge from
the forest shadow. Fording the River Dawn, they
turn south, journeying into the dark |
| Rush - The Trees |
| There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.
The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they'r |
| Rush - Totem |
| I've got twelve disciples and a Buddha smile
Garden of Allah, Viking Valhalla
A miracle once in a while
I've got a pantheon of animals in a pagan soul
Vishnu and Gaia, Aztec and Maya
Dance around |
| Rush - War Paint |
| Girl before the mirror
Appraises her disguise
Child become a mother
Tries to fix her eyes
No more of his excuses
It has to be today
She can keep her fantasy
If she can get away
Paint her na |
