==Writing and composition==
"Force Ten" was written in three hours on December 14, 1986, the last day of pre-production for ''Hold Your Fire''.〔 With nine songs already written, producer Peter Collins felt it was important to have one more song for the album.〔 Pye Dubois, who previously worked with Rush on their song "Tom Sawyer", had sent Neil Peart some lyrics for the song, and Peart would add more verses to it.〔 Info from book adapted by the (Rush Vault ). Accessed from June 24. 2013.〕 Lyrically, the song describes the "storms of life," making a reference to a very high level of the Beaufort scale ("force ten" being near the scale's maximum of 12) as an analogy, according to the book ''Rush and Philosophy: Heart and Mind United''.
Musically, "Force Ten" is composed in a A minor key, with changes into a major scale also occurring in the song. The song is set in common time at a fast rock tempo.〔(Force Ten Sheet Music ). onlinesheetmusic.com.
