[Vision2020] A Farewell to Kings

[Moscow Cares]

Somehow the words to this song seem more appropriate today than they ever have.

“A Farewell to Kings” by Rush (1977)

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 
Whoa, can't we raise our eyes 
And make a start?
Can't we find the minds 
To lead us closer to the heart?
