Destiny Betrayed Lyrics

Two centuries ago

America was born

Founded on democracy

A cause worth fighting for

Courageous defenders

Throughout the many years

Protecting freedom in spite of their fears

The ballots were cast

The chosen one was John

And with his brother Robert

A new day would have dawn

But the enemy within our land

Had greed upon his heart

And so the plots of treason began to start

When apathy and comfort

Have lulled us all to sleep

And people a close vigilance

No longer want to keep

Then liberty and justice will soon fade away

And we'll wake to find our destiny betrayed

The choice of a nation

That day came to an end

Halted abruptly by the unsuspected men

Our hopes for a better world

Would never see their day

For a rain of bullets tore the dream away

When apathy and comfort

Have lulled us all to sleep

And people a close vigilance

No longer want to keep

Then liberty and justice will soon fade away

And we'll wake to find our destiny betrayed

They covered their graves

With tributes of stone

We were told it's been buried

Now leave it all alone

But in Arlington an eternal flame continues to shine

Beaconing us the truth to find

When apathy and comfort

Have lulled us all to sleep

And people a close vigilance

No longer want to keep

Then liberty and justice will soon fade away

And we'll wake to find our destiny betrayed

And we'll wake to find our destiny betrayed
