They threw the locks onto the ground
 And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived

 On the day the wall cane down
 The Ship of Fools had finally run aground
 Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight

 I dreamed you had left my side
 No warmth  not even pride remained
 And even though you needed me
 It was clear that I could not do a thing for you

 Now life devalues day by day
 As friends and neighbours turn away
 And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone

 Now frontiers shift like desert sands
 While nations wash their bloodied hands
 Of loyalty, of history, in shades of gray

 I woke to the sound of drums
 The music played, the morning sun streamed in
 I turned and I looked at you
 And all but the bitted residue slipped away...slipped away
