Hide out in an attic
With a diary as a friend
25 whole months within
A sheltering from them
Hide out in an attic
With a diary as a friend
25 whole months within
A sheltering from them
Anne Frank a crystal ball
Embroidered thoughts for you
Would you reveal that vicious wheel
With walls all barbed for you
Would you recall those terror halls
With walls all barbed for you
Would you reveal that vicious wheel
With walls all barbed for you
I ventured in that history
Not very old in years
Where rivers flowed and valleys filled
All naked broken tears
The victim crowd without a shroud
And no chance to go free
The gateway gone before the dawn
A warped and twisted sea.
Although the past has been and gone
The memory still sighs
Time can't forgive or can't forget
No matter how it tries
The children cold deserted souls
All lined on sliding sand
The gateway gone before the dawn
Take time to understand.
