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
