to slay with pen or sword
I grow weary of the battle
and the storm I walk toward
when all around is madness
and there's no safe port in view
I long to turn my path homeward
to stop awhile with you.
When life becomes as barren
and as cold winter skies
there's a beacon in the darkness
in a distant pair of eyes
in vain to search for honor
and in vain to search for truth
but these things can still be given
your love has shown me proof.
Rush
Rush, the self-titled debut single by the Canadian rock trio Rush, marks the beginning of a legendary discography. Released in 1974, the track showcases the band's early hard rock sound, characterized by Geddy Lee's distinctive bass lines, Alex Lifeson's guitar work, and Neil Peart's powerful drumming. While the band would later evolve into progressive rock icons, this recording captures their raw energy and tight musicianship during their formative years. The song stands as a foundational piece in their catalogue, introducing listeners to the dynamic interplay that would define their subsequent albums. It remains a significant song point for understanding the group's musical trajectory and their enduring influence on rock music.
