Lyrics

The meek shall inherit the Earth
We've taken care of everything
The words you hear, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
It's one for all, all for one
We work together, common sons
Never need to wonder how or why
We are the priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the priests of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within these walls
Look around at this world we've made
Equality our stock in trade
Come and join the Brotherhood of Man
What a nice contented world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the red star proudly high in hand
We are the priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the priests of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within these walls
Written by: Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee, Neil Peart
