"some are born to rule the world, to live their fantasies, but most of us just dream about the things we'd like to be, sadder still to watch it die, then never to have known it, for you the blind, who once could see, the bell tolls for thee..."

 

-Losing It

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

 

"A Farewell To Kings"

Interesting thread. I do like Losing It. You'll probably get 300 responses and 300 different quotes! That's one of the beauties of Rush. I have always been partial to:

 

They shoot without shame

In the name of a piece of dirt (or oil..)

Or a change of accent

Or the colour of your shirt

Better the pride that resides

In a citizen of the world

Than the pride that divides

When a colourful rag is unfurled..

 

I was about 13 or so when this album came out and this had a pretty strong influence on my future social and political world views.

Mine has, for a long time, been from Best I Can:

 

You can tell me that I've got no class

Look around let's see who's laughing last

Don't give me speeches 'cos they're oh so droll

Leave me alone let me rock'n'roll.'

To you, is it movement or is it action?

Is it contact or just reaction?

And you...revolution or just resistance?

Is it living, or just existence?

Yeah, you! It takes a little more persistence

To get up and go the distance

For me, a real life saver:

 

"Struck between the eyes by the big time world

walking uneasy streets, hiding beneath the sheets

got to try and fill the void..."

That has to be mine as well. When I was in High school I used to run to school 2.5 miles every day (uphill even in the snow, but not both ways) and I always listened to The Enemy Within before I left the house. What a powerful song, with great lyrics.

That was the first one that came to mind before opening this thread.

"They sat a while in silence

Then they turned at last to me.

WE WILL CALL YOU CYGNUS

THE GOD OF BALANCE YOU SHALL BE".

 

Hemispheres

 

 

That has to be the best surprise ending to a song I have ever heard. A fantastic ending to an incredible epic.

If I really got to thinking about it, I could probably think of some lyrics that I like better, but for now I'm going with...

 

"I believe in what I see

I believe in what I hear

I believe that what I'm feeling

Changes how the world appears"

Nice one Boz new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

 

Mine would be; "You don't get something for nothing."

 

Classic and Mightily true.

 

I also live by this one aswell;

"Well I know they've always told you selfishness was wrong,

Yet it was for me not you, I came to write this song."

 

Thats life, it pays to keep people happy and be nice and caring, but at te same time, always have yourself as your main priority.
