Kansas - 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
