A Farewell to Kings Songtext
von Rush

We′d like to continue with something else from "A Farewell To Kings"
This brings Alex to the classic guitar
This is called "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
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 the sacred halls of truth
Ancient nobles showering their bitterness on youth
Can't we find the minds that made us strong
Oh, 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, make a start?
Can't we find the minds to lead us closer to the heart?
