Open the citygates, war is over! Gentry and renegades..
They're crawling out from every haven
Merry men are getting shaven
Yes every pretty walk of life is here!
All of my life I had been waiting
I'm not sure which way I'm going
but nothing's gonna stop me from cheering
As you know, like you've been told
We have been freed!
Free every man, take it for granted
Then no king was ever likely to lead us where the psyche was broken
Now you know, as you've been told
We have been freed!
The monastery rings eleven
Coming to the square, the market place -
a feast alluring!
And I scrutinize my garments,
they do need washing..
But I say to you -
Here's a toast to all our friends
who'd not pull through
Open the citygates, war is over!
Dance around the colonnades!
The reeking of forgotten ovens
I hear the chanting of the local coven
And every pretty walk of life is here!
All of my life I had been frightened
And not sure which way I'm going
but nothing's gonna stop me from living
As you know like you've been told
We have been freed
Free every man, take it for granted
Then no king was ever likely to lead us where the psyche was broken
Now you know, as you've been told
We have been freed!
Yes we have been freed..
The sun has found a way to greet us
We all have found a way to liberate intoxication
'Cause I stumble like a madman on the pavement
But I say anew
Here's a toast to all the friends
who died for you
All of our lives we had been waiting
We're not sure which way we're going but nothing's gonna stop us from cheering
So rejoice, it's not too late
What's that noise? Run to the gates..
Run thru the gates!
They're crawling out from every haven
Merry men are getting shaven
Yes every pretty walk of life is here!
All of my life I had been waiting
I'm not sure which way I'm going
but nothing's gonna stop me from cheering
As you know, like you've been told
We have been freed!
Free every man, take it for granted
