Interesting facts and trivia about A Farewell To Kings. By Songfacts®.

This is the title track of Rush's album A Farewell to Kings. With lyrics written by their drummer, Neil Peart, the song is about dealing with hypocrisy and finding your own way by looking within yourself. There is a fair amount of Middle Ages imagery here (castles, knights), which show us how this challenge has been going on for ages.

The song ends with the lyrics, "Closer To The Heart," which is the title to the third track on the album.
