By-Tor and the Snow Dog

Neil Peart, Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee

[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
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
By-Tor and the Snow Dog
Square for battle, let the fray begin
Ooh, yeah

[III. The Battle]

[i. Challenge and Defiance]
[Instrumental]

[ii. 7/4 War Furor]
[Instrumental]

[iii. Aftermath]
[Interlude]

[iv. Hymn of Triumph]
[Guitar Solo]

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