Bravado - By Rush

Sorry I didn't post in a while, but I's got stuff to do.

Anyhow, I was thinking of this song by Rush that was written in 1991 that could apply to a lot of things, but I think it could especially be applied to the current Iraq war.

It's called "Bravado," it's from their Album Roll the Bones and here are the lyrics:


If we burn our wings
Flying too close to the sun
If the moment of glory
Is over before it's begun
If the dream is won
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price
But we will not count the cost

When the dust has cleared
And victory denied
A summit too lofty
River a little too wide
If we keep our pride
Though paradise is lost
We will pay the price
But we will not count the cost

And if the music stops
There's only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory
All the sacrifice in vain
(And) If love remains
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price
But we will not count the cost
