Curtain Of Iron Lyrics - Audio-visions - Kansas

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
