Curtain of Iron Lyrics

(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
