There are those who think that life is nothing left to chance
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance.
A planet of playthings,
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive.
"The stars aren't aligned
Or the gods are malign"
Blame is better to give than receive.
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose free will.
There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand,
The cards were stacked against them
They weren't born in lotus land.
All preordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate.
Kicked in the face,
You can pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate.
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose free will.
Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete.
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet.
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose free will.

Joder la canción es fea de cojones, sin ritmo ninguno. La letra está genial, pero si me mandan tararearla... no soy capaz jaja.
"Joder la canción es fea de cojones, sin ritmo ninguno"
Me dejas K.O. Mario. jajaja. Precisamente, de eso se trata, de romper el ritmo. Claro que si no te gusta algo de "rock progresivo"... Yo que soy músico frustrado aprecio estas virguerías instrumentales y compositivas, pero reconozco que RUSH no es un grupo muy del agrado de los gustos musicales del español medio (aunque llenan estadios en otros lares).
"La letra está genial"
La temática de sus letras, de influencia liberal-libertaria, es muy oportuna para anotar aquí.
Iré “pinchando” mas temas suyos en el blog. Mi recomendación: arranca la “mula" (policía de la SGAE vengan a por mi) y empápate de su discografía.
