Neil considers himself to be a Left Wing Libertarian. Whatever the hell that is. The man has given me countless hours of enjoyment on drums and his lyrics have touched me as well. But as a person and what he believes in...ugh. However with the new titles of the Rush tunes coming off of Vapor Trails...it looks like he might have found a spiritual calling after so much darkness in his life.

Vapor trails... Is that the new album?

"HERESY"

Words by Neil Peart, Music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson

All around that dull gray world
From Moscow to Berlin
People storm the barricades
Walls go tumbling in
The counter-revolution
People smiling through their tears
Who can give them back their lives
And all those wasted years?
All those precious wasted years --
Who will pay?
All around that dull gray world
Of ideology
People storm the marketplace
And buy up fantasy
The counter-revolution
At the counter of a store
People buy the things they want
And borrow for a little more
All those wasted years
All those precious wasted years
Who will pay?
Do we have to be forgiving at last?
What else can we do?
Do we have to say goodbye to the past?
Yes I guess we do
All around this great big world
All the crap we had to take
Bombs and basement fallout shelters
All our lives at stake
The bloody revolution
All the warheads in its wake
All the fear and suffering
All a big mistake
All those wasted years
All those precious wasted years
Who will pay?
