Текст песни Rush - By-Tor And The Snow Dog (Retrospective I (1974-1980) 1997)

I. At The Tobes Of Hades

[Verse 1]
The Tobes of Hades, lit by flickering torchlight
The netherworld is gathered in the glare
Prince By-Tor takes the cavern to the north light
The sign of Eth is rising in the air

[Refrain]
By-Tor, knight of darkness
Centurion of evil, devil's prince

II. Across The Styx

[Verse 2]
Across the River Styx, out of the lamplight
His nemesis is waiting at the gate
The Snow Dog, ermine glowing in the damp night
Coal-black eyes shimmering with hate

[Refrain]
By-Tor and the Snow Dog
Square for battle, let the fray begin

[Instrumental break 1:11-7:33]
III. The Battle
I. Challenge And Defiance
Ii. 7/4 War Furor
Iii. Aftermath
Iv. Hymn of Triumph

IV. Epilogue

[Verse 3]
The battle's over and the dust is clearing
Disciples of the Snow Dog sound the knell
Rejoicing echoes as the dawn is nearing
By-Tor, in defeat, retreats to Hell

[Refrain]
Snow Dog is victorious
The land of the Overworld is saved again
