Empty Promises
We came down
The mountains and passageways
We came down
In search of new days
We came down
To live life in our own way
Only to find
The same dump of decay
Dictated by many
Ruled only by one
Our only freedom
Is owning our guns
We came down
The oceans and waterways
We came down
Like fish in a bay
We came down
On the quest for the new land
We came down
Because we can
Hope for our freedom
Has been forsaken
Results now show
We were sadly mistaken
We came down
The mountains and passageways
We came down
And were betrayed
