“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.”
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
Can’t we learn
To feel what’s right and 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
And make a start
Can’t we find the minds
To lead us closer to the Heart

The intro after the nylon string, same as the end riff sounds a lot like radioheads the bends era. Love them both.

Last Rush LP I bought
Mark Banfield
I saw Rush in 1978 at the Music Hall in Houston Texas. One of the best concerts.
Misanthropia Shall Fall
This song is the birth place of "djent". 40 years before (Meshuggah) even existed.
