Beneath, Between and Behind Songtext
von Rush

That′s another song of our new album
This is one called "Beneath, Between and Behind"

Ooh, 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

Beneath the noble bird, between the proudest words
Behind the beauty, cracks appear
Once with heads held high they sang out to the sky
Why do their shadows bow in fear?


Watch the cities rise, another ship arrives
Earth's melting pot and ever grow
Fantastic dreams come true inventing something new
The greatest minds were never knowing

Beneath the noble bird, between the proudest words
Behind the beauty, cracks appear
Once with heads held high they sang out to the sky
Why do their shadows bow in fear?

The guns replace the plow, façades are tarnished now
The principles have been betrayed
The dreams′s gone stale, but hope prevail
History's debt won't be repaid

Beneath the noble bird, between the proudest words
Behind the beauty, cracks appear
Once with heads held high they sang out to the sky
Why do their shadows bow in fear?
