Totem Lyrics by Rush

Totem Lyrics

    Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson

    I've got twelve disciples and a buddha smile
    The garden of allah, viking valhalla
    A miracle once in a while

    I've got a pantheon of animals in a pagan soul
    Vishnu and gaia --- aztec and maya
    Dance around my totem pole

    I believe in what i see
    I believe in what i hear
    I believe that what i'm feeling
    Changes how the world appears

    Angels and demons dancing in my head
    Lunatics and monsters underneath my bed
    Media messiahs preying on my fears
    Pop culture prophets playing in my ears

    I've got celestial mechanics
    To synchronize my stars
    Seasonal migrations --- daily variations
    World of the unlikely and bizarre

    I've got idols and icons, unspoken holy vows
    Thoughts to keep well-hidden ---
    Sacred and forbidden
    Free to browse among the holy cows

    That's why i believe

    Angels and demons inside of me
    Saviors and satans all around me

    Sweet chariot, swing low, coming for me
