Curtain of Iron

(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 burn <-- burn, not 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
