Canadian writer, lyricist, and drummer for the band Rush.
Wheels can take you around.
Wheels can cut you down.
We can go from boom to bust.
From dreams to a bowl of dust.
We can fall from rockets' red glare, down to "Brother can you spare..."
Another war.
Another wasteland.
And another lost generation
-- Between The Wheels (1984)
I can't play to that! - on Rock Band[]
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?
-- A Farewell To Kings (1977)
No hero in your tragedy,
No daring in your escape,
No salutes for your surrender,
Nothing noble in your fate,
Christ, what have you done?
-- The Pass (1989)
You move me, you move me.
with your buildings and your eyes
Autumn woods and Winter skies.
You move me, you move me.
Open sea and city lights, busy streets and dizzy heights.
You call me, you call me.
-- The Analog Kid (1982)
Life is just a candle, and a dream must give it flame...
-- The Fountain of Lamneth (1975)
I'm not looking back, but I want to look around me now.
-- Time Stand Still (1987)
Adventures suck when you're having them.
