In their own image

Their world is fashioned

No wonder they don’t understand

Some will sell their dreams for small desires

Or lose the race to rats

Get caught in ticking traps

—Neil Peart,1982

***

You can do a lot in a lifetime

If you don’t burn out too fast

You can make the most of the distance

—Neil Peart, 1985

***

Now it’s come to this

It’s like we’re back in the Dark Ages

From the Middle East to the Middle West

It’s a world of superstition

—Neil Peart, 2007

The future disappears into memory

With only a moment between.

Forever dwells in that moment,

Hope is what remains to be seen.

Forever dwells in that moment,

Hope is what remains to be seen.

—Neil Peart, 2012
