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
