Some where along the way, Rush lyricist (Neil Peart) decided to write a series of songs which would describe the "fear element" in all of us. This series was labeled properly as the "Fear Series" and essentially carried through out four different albums. They when onto to describe the toil of being feed fear by the government, among many other such relevant topics. Ironically these topics are just as relevant today..
The songs were actually written backwards (not literally of course), but as in part 3 arrived in '81 and part 1 arrived '84. Here are three parts of the series played live at the "Grace Under Pressure" tour in '84.
