Inevitable alterations

When the exchange of an 8 into a 9 was a fact
Radical changes altered the Slavonic countries
In a cold war play it might be a decisive at
Can this be the long expected moment of peace?

Time be time the world turns on and on
I hope this time war threats are over and done

We face the end of a roaring age
With oppressing performances on a world's stage
But now freedom spreads around like a healthy disease
On the threshold of the nineties

It finally happened on the verge of a new decade
The living symbol of anti-apartheid was released
Drained due to a rightful struggle seemed to be his fate
Can this be the long expected moment of peace?

Finally it appears that absolute power looks after
Fears but ignores the flower
Symbolic for youth symbolic for future their search
For the truth a freedom fair and pure

It might be a herald of revolutionary years to come
That abused populations revolt
Cause keeping a nation dumb
Is an impossible instruction
They're no longer ignorant
This will lead to friction
Might turn into rebellion
