The Usurpers - Defector Lyrics

His life was a nightmare
Everything was lies
He lived in fear
His memories: scars
He dreamed of freedom
And a better life
Without starvation
And prison camps

Defector... Yearned to be free
Defector... Lived in poverty
Defector... Fled from tyranny
Defector... He found no liberty in the land of the free

His hopeless life became
More than he could stand
He decided to escape
So he made his plan
He'd head for the border
In the dead of night
He'd risk everything
He'd risk his life
He made a decision
He was willing to die
For a chance at freedom
And a better life

Defector... Yearned to be free
Defector... Lived in poverty
Defector... Fled from tyranny
Defector... He found no liberty in the land of the free

He crossed the border
In the dead of night
Suddenly caught in
A bright spotlight
They beat him down
They put him in chains
Locked him up
And sent him back from where he came

Defector... Yearned to be free
Defector... Lived in poverty
Defector... Fled from tyranny
Defector... He found no liberty in the land of the free
