Miracles will have their claimers More will bow to Rome He and she are in the house But there's only me at home. -- Anagram (For Mongo) (1989) - Neil Peart

You can't get together with three people and say, 'we want a career spanning 20 years and a really loyal following — here's the plan.' We just did what we thought was right, made music we liked, and hoped other people would too. So far, that's been the secret formula.

Like a steely blade in a silken sheath
We don't see what they're made of
They shout about love, but when push comes to shove
They live for the things they're afraid of And the knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used against them...
- The Weapon (Part II of 'Fear') (1982)

A planet of playthings
We dance on the strings of powers we cannot perceive
The stars aren't aligned or the gods are maligned
Blame is better to give than receive -- Freewill (1980)
