1. "One moment's high and glory rolls on by like a streak of lightning that flashes and fades in the summer sky."

2. "From the point of conception to the moment of truth, at the point of surrender to the burden of proof."

I like this tune. From "Hold Your Fire" (1987), which also features "Time Stand Still", "Turn The Page", "Mission".

5. "I have no heart to lie, I can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend."

From Rush's "breakthrough" 1981 release "Moving Pictures",(all their stuff is breakthrough, if you ask me) also includes "Tom Sawyer", "Red Barchetta", "YYZ".

6. "Kicked in the face you can pray for a place in Heaven's unearthly estate."

From the 1980 release "Permanent Waves". I like how they always have an interesting album cover (to go with all that interesting music.)

From their 17th studio release, "Vapor Trails". They've just completed a world tour in support of it. (an upcoming DVD will feature thier last show of the tour in Rio)

Answer: 2112

Neil Peart's science fiction inspired tale of a futuristic society where music is "illegal" and our hero leads a revolution through music. From their 4th studio LP of the same name(1976), the song took up an entire album side.
