(Kerry Livgren)
|
The streets of the city are barren
|
All the windows and doors have been closed
|
As the night draws near
|
You can feel their fear
|
Their freedom is just an illusion
|
And they tell us that love is a lie
|
Can it all be true
|
What can one man do
|
|
(Chorus)
|
See the pages as they turn
|
Never will the children learn
|
Born as a prisoner in a curtain of iron
|
Never will the pages turn
|
|
The City of Gold's in the distance
|
And they've already forgotten their dream
|
Visions slowly fade
|
In this land of shade
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
As the power grows, darkness spreading
|
Hope is still alive, though we're dreading
|
What the future holds, no more need to
|
Fear what all men face
|
Only good can win the race
|
|
Rumors speak of war, all the nations
|
Turmoil in the streets, tribulations
|
Now it's plain to see
|
All the prophecies are taking place
|
Only good can win the race
|
|
There are fragments of truth still remaining
|
And they bring them the light of the world
|
To this hope we cling
|
Till the bells will ring
|
|
See the pages as they turn
|
In their wisdom we will learn
|
Our bloody history soon will resolve
|
See the pages as they turn
|
In their wisdom we will learn
|
Free from the prison, a Curtain of Iron
|
