1. _ In The End
Words and music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
Well, i can see what you mean
It just takes me longer
And i can feel what you feel
It just makes you stronger
I know, i know, i know
Oh, the feeling grows
I see, i see, i see
It's got to be
You can take me for a little while
You can take me, you can make me smile
In the end
Well, i can do what you do
You just do it better
And i can cry like you cry
It just makes me sadder
Well, i can shine like you shine
It doesn't make me brighter
But if i think like you think
It don't make my load much lighter

2. _ Anthem
Words and music by geddy lee, alex lifeson, and neil peart
Know your place in life is where you want to be
Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me
Keep on looking forward, no use in looking 'round
Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you
Down
Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
We marvel after those who sought
New wonders in the world, wonders in the world,
Wonders in the world they wrought
Live for yourself -- there's no one else
More worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts will
Only cry out for more
Well, i know they've always told you
Selfishness was wrong
Yet it was for me, not you, i
Came to write this song

3. _ Beneath, Between And Behind
Words by neil peart, music by alex lifeson
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
Beneath the noble birth
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?
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...
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

4. _ Making Memories
Words and music by geddy lee, alex lifeson, and neil peart
There's a time for feelin' as good as we can
The time is now, and there's no stoppin' us
There's a time for livin' as high as we can
Behind us you will only see our dust
You know we're havin' good days
And we hope they're gonna last
Our future still looks brighter than our past
We feel no need to worry
No reason to be sad
Our mem'ries remind us, maybe road life's not so bad
Just keep smilin', move onward ev'ry day
And try to keep our thoughts away from home
We're trav'lin' around, no time to settle down
And satisfy our wanderlust to roam
Well from sea to shining sea, and a hundred points between
Still we go on diggin' ev'ry show
The cities in the land all extend a welcome hand
Till morning when it's time for us to go

5. _ Fly By Night
Words and music by geddy lee and neil peart
(original first stanza)
Airport scurry flurry faces
Parade of passers by
People going many places
With a smile or just a sigh
Waiting waiting pass the time
Another cigarette
Get in line - gate thirty-nine
The time is not here yet (end)
Why try? i know why
The feeling inside me says it's time i was gone
Clear head, new life ahead
I want to be king now not just one more pawn
Fly by night, away from here
Change my life again
Fly by night goodbye my dear
My ship isn't coming and i just can't pretend
Moon rise, thoughtful eyes
Staring back at me from the window beside
No fright or hindsight
Leaving behind that empty feeling inside
Start a new chapter
Find what i'm after
It's changing every day
The change of a season
Is enough of a reason
To want to get away
Quiet and pensive
My thoughts apprehensive
The hours drift away
Leaving my homeland
Playing a lone hand
My life begins today

6. _ Rivendell
sunlight dances through the leaves
Soft winds stir the sighing trees
Lying in the warm grass
Feel the sun upon your face
Elven songs and endless nights
Sweet wine and soft relaxing lights
Time will never touch you
Here in this enchanted place
You feel there's something calling you
You're wanting to return
To where the misty mountains rise and friendly fires burn
A place you can escape the world
Where the dark lord cannot go
Peace of mind and sanctuary by loud water's flow
I've traveled now for many miles
It feels so good to see the smiles of
Friends who never left your mind
When you were far away
From the golden light of coming dawn
Till the twilight when the sun is gone
We treasure ev'ry season
And ev'ry passing day
We feel the coming of a new day
Dark gives way to light a new way
Stop here for a while until the world,
The world calls you away
Yet you know i've had the feeling
Standing with my senses reeling
This is the place to grow old till
I reach my final day

7. _ Best I Can
Words and music by geddy lee
I've got a livin' that's rough, a future that's tough
You know what i mean
Blankers and boasters, all the bluffers and posers
I'm not into that scene
You can tell me that i got no class
Look around, you'll see who's laughin' last
Don't give me speeches 'cause they're oh so droll
Leave me alone, let me rock and roll
Got an itchin' to rock, a hate for small talk
I'm funny that way
Got my sights on the stars, won't get that far
But i'll try anyway
I just like to please, don't like to tease
I'm easy like that
Don't like long rests, i must confess
I'm an impatient cat
I do the best that i can
I'm just what i am
I do the best i can
Well, i know what i am
Rock and rollin's a scream, makin' millions my dream
Well, i do that a lot
I'll just give it a try, won't let good times pass me by
They're all i've got

8. _ By-tor And The Snow Dog
Words and music by geddy lee, alex lifeson, and neil peart
I. at the tobes of hades
The tobes of hades
Lit by flickering torchlight
The netherworld is gathered in the glare
Prince by-tor takes the cavern
To the north light
The sign of eth is rising in the air
By-tor, knight of darkness,
Centurion of evil
Devil's prince
Ii. across the styx
Across the river styx
Out of the lamplight
His nemesis is waiting at the gate
The snow dog, ermine glowing
In the damp night
Coal-black eyes shimmering with hate
By-tor and the snow dog
Square for battle
Let the fray begin
Iii. of the battle
Instrumental
Iv. epilogue
The battle's over
And the dust is clearing
Disciples of the snow dog sound the knell
Rejoicing echoes
As the dawn is nearing
By-tor in defeat
Retreats to hell
Snow dog is victorious
The land of the overworld
Is saved again
