Rush - Beneath, Between & Behind Lyrics

[Verse 1]Ten score years ago, defeat the kingly foeA wondrous dream came into beingTame the trackless waste, no virgin land left chasteAll shining eyes, but never seeing[Chorus]Beneath the noble birdBetween the proudest wordsBehind the beauty, cracks appearOnce with heads held highThey sang out to the skyWhy do their shadows bow in fear?[Verse 2]Watch the cities riseAnother ship arrivesEarth's melting pot and ever growingFantastic dreams come trueInventing something newThe greatest minds, and never knowing[Chorus]Beneath the noble birdBetween the proudest wordsBehind the beauty, cracks appearOnce with heads held highThey sang out to the skyWhy do their shadows bow in fear?Whoa![Instrumental Break][Bridge]The guns replace the plow, facades are tarnished nowThe principles have been betrayedThe dreams's gone stale, but still, let hope prevailHistory's debt won't be repaid[Chorus]Beneath the noble birdBetween the proudest wordsBehind the beauty, cracks appearOnce with heads held highThey sang out to the skyWhy do their shadows bow in fear?
