For years and years I've been waiting in the tower My fighting against this stony world Is the only way to my freedom It's a long way to my life Sleeping night after night I've had constant dreams of a change I will never surrender I will never die Forever, I'll call you to set me free Oh, God! I'm calling you Lead my soul to freedom In this tower I have nightmares of a metal king I have nightmares of a metal age Iron tears rolling down the face Of the man in the iron mask An iron mask hides my life An iron mask hides my tears I won't see my face another day A saviour won't set me free Touching the bars of the windows Looking at the rising moon War and pain inside my eyes War and hate inside my heart
