We can rise and fall like empires
Flow in and out like the tide
Be vain and smart, humble and dumb
We can hit and miss like pride
Just like pride
We can circle around like hurricanes
Dance and dream like lovers
Attack the day like birds of prey
Or scavengers under cover
Chorus
Look in -- to the eye of the storm
Look out -- for the force without form
Look around -- at the sight and the sound
Look in look out look around...
We can move with savage grace
To the rhythms of the night
Cool and remote like dancing girls
In the heat of the beat and the lights
We can wear the rose of romance
An air of joie de vivre
Too-tender hearts upon our sleeves
Or skin as thick as thieves'
Thick as theives'....
Chorus
Rush - Force Ten (04:15)
A sweet song by Rush from thier 1987 album Hold Your Fire. Still stands as of one of the best Rush
songs. I think at the end you can hear the opening of Time Stand Still, oops my bad.
understood. you're right about the odd time signature bit. he's the master. you're into the 5th beat of a 7/8 coming off of a 6/4, and realize your own sense of time sucks while those three just move right along. I played guitar in a Rush cover / garage project many years ago and spent most of my time teaching our bass player how to play the 7/4 line over the Red Barchetta solo. Turned out slapping my thigh seven times while he played the part turned the trick. he had no idea. good times.

Neil is the perfect drummer for Rush, and that's all that matters for me.
