Neil Peart & Alex LifesonAbout
This song, from 1975’s Fly By Night, is largely a poetic history of the United States. In it, lyricist and drummer Neil Peart lauds the humble beginnings of the nation, but argues that “beneath, between and behind” the proud history “their shadows bow in fear.” The last chorus also protests the hype...
Beneath, Between and Behind Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 2]
Watch the cities rise
Another ship arrives
Earth's melting pot and ever growing
Fantastic dreams come true
Inventing something new
The greatest minds, and never knowing
[Chorus]
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?
Whoa!
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
The guns replace the plow, facades are tarnished now
The principles have been betrayed
The dreams's gone stale, but still, let hope prevail
History's debt won't be repaid
[Chorus]
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?
